If you have a thumb on one side and fingers on the other then how do you turn the pages? I tend to have the right side of the reader in the wedge between where my thumb and index finger meet and the other fingers are applying a little pressure to the back with the thumb hovering over or sometimes resting on the bezel. Or I hold it similarly but with my baby finger under the bottom edge of the reader providing support. I was a little worried about it being slippery when I first got it but I have since gotten used to it and have no problem holding it one handed with my womanly man hands. I've read standing up on the train with one hand on the hand stirrups and had no problem whatsoever.
