This is somewhat off topic, but also somewhat pertinent. Last week I found myself reading a paper book for the first time in quite a while. Now when using my e-book reader I generally hold it in my right hand and use a slight motion of my right thumb to turn the pages (touch screen). My left hand is used only to provide some support for the reader under the top left corner.
When reading a paper book I hold the book in much the same way, except my left thumb is used to keep turned pages from flipping back. So anyway out of habit I found myself while reading this paperback without thinking attempting to turn the pages with a swipe of my left thumb. So often that I would frequently have to pause for a fraction of a second to be annoyed that I wasn't seeing a new page of text.
Moral you will soon learn to adapt to an e-reader, and even wonder how you ever did without.
