And fjtorres, I like to hold my device in the palm of my hand. I never grip it (my PDA just fits between the fingers, my Mini is actually already too large for that). I let it rest on my pinkie, with my index finger near the side buttons (and my thumb near the bottom buttons). Which is why I can't see myself holding that Jetbook Mini comfortably.
So you page with the numbered buttons?
I tried that on the BeBook and my thumb hurt after a few minutes.
And it tended to tip over on me. (Same issue I have with the Sony bottom-mounted paging buttons.)
Different strokes and all that.

As for rotating the reader when switching hands; yes. The PB360 has a motion sensor that automatically rotates the screen. It's no more effort that turning a page on a P-book. Like the black flash on eink screens you quickly get used to it and stop taking notice.
