I'm a lefty and have never had a problem with my Kindle DX or the Kindle 3.
Between my being left handed and having cerebral palsy the school refused to even try to teach me cursive. I spent my childhood printing. Somewhere along the way I began printing ever smaller until my senior year of high school I could fit three lines of text for every line of college ruled notebook paper. Though for tests and things I had to turned in I typed. In high school I carried a Brother portable typewriter.
The summer before my senior year of H.S. I set out to learn cursive if for nothing else but to sign my name. To start with I got my mother to teach me but she only taught me lowercase and a few uppercase letter forms. Over the next year or two I adapted letter forms from a book on calligraphic scripts and may have picked up a few letter forms from people i admired. By my third or fourth year of college I wrote everything in cursive and lost the ability to print really tiny. Oddly I haven't found anyone who had trouble reading my handwriting from college to now. Although a few have called it 'overly idiosyncratic'.
