Has anyone heard an explanation from Kobo for why they put the D pad where they did? It requires that you use two hands to turn pages when holding in left & I don't know what to do if I hold it in my right hand. Seems to me that the middle placement would allow for either thumb to operate the d pad regardless of how I hold it. Just seems that the bottom right corner is the exact worse placement for it. BTW I use my Sony most often in my left hand & turn pages with my left thumb. Still works if I have it in my right hand.

Cheers,
kev
