This. It's not only non-petty, it's one of the most important functions necessary for the device makers to get right. If a user isn't comfortable with the way the page turns, they will be uncomfortable every few minutes as they use the device.
The way the Sony does it is perfectly fine for many, and I'd tell the OP it's not as bad as it sounds, but I agree with her that it's easi
est when the buttons are on the sides and easy to press without repositioning our fingers.
I do miss that ease when I'm using the Sony 350, and in some positions, it's truly annoying, but it's not a deal-breaker.

I so agree! It's one of my very favorite things about my Sony. It's so simple, it scans through the pages at a perfect pace, and I use it all the time for the same reason.
