I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but I take it you are pleased with your Nook. I am right handed and I hold my Kindle in my left hand and turn pages with my left thumb and as I seldom use the 5-way controller, I didn't really think of it being a primarily (in your view) right-handed device. My brother is left-handed, so I have long been aware of how "right-handed centric" our world is. On the other hand (no pun intended, really
):
My partner is disabled and has little use of her right hand - she was right-handed before becoming disabled - so now has to do most everything left-handed. I realize the design is a bit different from the Kindle 3, but she has a Kindle 2 and has no problem with using the controls on the right side. The Kindle was wonderful for her - she had pretty much stopped reading because it was so awkward trying to hold a paperback or hardback and trying to turn pages, now she is back to reading every day.
