The k3 reopens where you left off in the book.
To select a new book does require use of the 5-way thingie. It is the "mouse" or joystick. So to move down the list, you use the lower side of the "square" and then press the middle of it to select/open the book.
While reading the side buttons (both sides) are used. Forward is a longer button and back shorter. The only reason to use the 5-way while reading would be to use the Dictionary. You use the 5-way to move the cursor to the beginning of a word and the definition automatically shows in a box.
A thought - hopefully, the Power on/off slider will not be a problem. It is located along the botton edge (power, volume, headphone and mic (no one knows what the mic is for!), not on the face of the k3. There is/was a hack to increase the timeout (sleep) function but it was withdrawn. But as long as the book is actively being read it won't go to sleep. It will after x number of minutes of inactivity. slide the switch to power back to your place in the book.
