The new Kindle 3 works well for reading with one hand. (I didn't have a K2 so I don't know how it compares though.) If you hold it by the bottom corner your thumb should land right on the page-forward button.

The other thing I'm concerned about is the size. Granted I haven't seen any of the new kindles yet, but the older kindles just seemed huge, with all that keyboard space.

The new one is a bit smaller in each dimension than the previous generation; the whole thing including keyboard is less than 8 inches tall, so it's not really any worse in that respect than most other readers that have controls at the bottom. After using a K1 and then a nook, the K3 feels amazingly small and light by comparison... of course the 5" readers like the PRS350 are smaller yet, but you are also sacrificing display size there too.
