In fact, you should get one to play with yourself. Overall, it's got plenty of problems -- for example: The screen sucks, and the processor is slow. But it feels right in your hands. The buttons are well placed for readers with large hands (or small hands); also for both left- and right-handed users. You can orient it with any of its four edges as the top of the screen and everything works just right (it even automatically changes the mapping of the next-page and previous-page buttons).
Please, please make your next device have better physical ergonomics -- it would be a refreshing change from the flawed devices we have available now.

amen !!!!!!! i don't know why no manufacturer has done that so far. the current generation of e-ink devices are ALL a huge step backwards in terms of ergonomy, in my opinion (and clearly i'm not alone). my ideal e-ink device is the one that gets the closest to the eb1150 design, but lighter and thinner (and with e-ink, obviously). sadly i'm still waiting for it.
