Another lefty who just saw this thread.
I never got why people wanted me to tilt the page. Of course I've also never seen a need for a weird hook in my hand when writing and don't remember ever having issues with smearing with either pencil or pen. My handwriting is only so so but I'm sure that this occurs due to thinking faster then I can write neatly (I see the same thing with my sons who are right handed).
Back to the topic; I think the K3 is really well set up for lefties. I can hold it in my right hand, move my thumb down to hit the 5-way, and turn pages with whichever hand I feel like. Leaves my left hand free although my Kindle is too new for me to want to eat while holding it. I mouse using my right hand but I've always thought that was the best way as it also allowed my left hand to be free to write notes if needed.
