Good points.
I understand wanting the buttons moved and "adjustable." When I hold my Kindle in the fingers of 1 hand in the most comfortable position, I am holding the device at the corner, my thumb falls naturally lower than the bottom most button. I would like the "forward" button more in line with the keyboard down on the bottom.
likewise having an edge (a battery compartment) would give a better grip. I have that on my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus with the $8 rubber back I put on it, but I haven't but one on the Keyboard Kindle.
I actually thought of just gluing a little ridge along the back edge of the Kindle. A little ShoeGoo from my glue box would work great. Just haven't ever made an effort to fix what is only a slight problem.
Changing the button's function shouldn't be that hard for the software folks, from the little I know. It is not a mechanical thing.
