In bed, naked, or in the case, I usually hold it in ways that I'm afraid are... weird. 
First, I rest the bottom on a pillow.
Then, when it's in the case, I put:
Middle and pinkie fingers around the back.
Index finger in the space between the covers.
Ring finger over the page turn button.
I click the page button kinda backwards - with the dorsal side of my ring finger, between my first and second knuckles.
Without the case (which is how I got started doing that - see cramping frog), I put all fingers around the back, except my middle finger, which then does the clicking. Don't ask me why. I dunno. I think it's because it's stronger, and without the thickness, I need more leverage...?
Am I the only person who holds it anything like that?  |
I tried holding my Kindle the way you describe (oh, and where's your thumb in all this?!?) but found it impossible to click the buttons and the Kindle felt very insecurely held. (And talk about cramping frogs....
) You are obviously much better coordinated than I am.
I'm glad it works for you, though.
