I'm not sure why you're opposed to a built in battery. The lithium batteries in these readers last for years. Just use a USB cable to plug the reader into the wall or computer for charging. I figure that by the time my reader stops charging, there will be much better readers on the market.

My Sony is very intuitive to use. My 83 year old mother, who thinks that anything electronic is a result of black magic, had no problems with reading books on mine. The page turn buttons are on the left, so I don't know how well that would work for you.

I think it was the PocketBook that has the ability to tip the book to turn the page using a built in accelerometer. You might want to check with the folks in that forum for details, but I'd think that tipping the reader would be an easy way to turn the page one handed.
