My conclusions are just the opposite of yours:
- the STR buttons are in the right place to use them easily one-handed
- I never brush the screen by accident
- I hated the four dozen buttons and 5-way controller on the K3
I like the STR a Lot better than the K3.

I can see why you'd think I must have huge hands. I wasn't as clear as I could have been. I can't comfortably wrap my hands around either reader, but if the Nook had buttons like the Kindle, it would make page turning from the "wrap-around" position much easier.
I love that we have completely opposite conclusions; it just goes to show that there's a market for all sorts of devices and there's no need for fanboyism.
The 5-way controller is definitely not my favorite either. My original K2 5-way button actually cracked. Fortunately, Amazon replaced it, and apparently it's a somewhat common problem.
I really like the STR keyboard. It's easy to use, and I like that it disappears when not in use. Honestly, I use the keyboard space for holding my Kindle. It allows a more comfortable, balanced feeling in my hand. As lame is it sounds, a touch reader with extra bottom bezel would work well for me. I'm sure it would be hideous, though
