It didn't come across that way to me. BTW: I have both a Sony (500) and a Kindle.
Both devices take a little while to learn the best few ways to hold it with each hand and be able to turn the pages. If you have small hands I can see the Kindle being a problem.
I use it without the cover and usually hold it in my left hand with my thumb near the top of the key board. My fingers are angled up along the back so it won't feel top heavy. When holding it in my left hand I usually use my right hand to turn the page, very much how I hold a book. I can also hit the next page button on the left side with my left thumb if my other hand is "busy".
I hold it in my right hand similarly and then use my left hand to turn the page... or I can use my right index finger to hit the right side next page button.
I only use the case when traveling to protect the screen.
As I said, it took me a week or so of using the Sony to find the most comfortable positions too.
Both are great readers and as you said, it is great to be able to have the choice!
