The new Kobo does look cool, but something (will probably come out in the wash) is one of the videos I watched talked about the Kobo being more suited to right handed people with the placement of the d-pad and the new touch over comes this (which is fine), but how can one comfortably read with one hand? If I want to just hold it with my left hand can I turn the pages with a funky little move or do I need to perform a swipe (how far across the screen for it to register as a page turn I don't know)??

I'm starting to think it might be a little hard to just read one handed and swap between hands. On the plus side it looks a very nice unit, and the features look fairly appealing (don't use any social media so that is all useless to me).
