Y'know, maybe it's because I'm a lefty, but I thought the Sony PRS500 was fine. I tend to hold the reader at the bottom left-hand corner, so everything - including the 10 selection buttons - was within comfortable reach.

I bought a CyBook, and while I can learn to hold it with the right hand, pressing the button requires more force and doesn't always respond (doesn't respond if the light is unlit). That bothers me lots more than the navigation (which I'll agree is not ideal).

I gave up on it and upgraded to a Sony PRS505, just for the brighter screen and faster screen changes. The button placement still works okay for me, but since I hold the Reader at the bottom, if I want to use the selection keys, I have to let go of the Reader and reach up to the side of the reader. Not optimal for me. But probably perfect for righties who don't mind holding the Reader midway along the edge.
