There's no need to keep your thumb near any button, do you read a paper book always with a hand near the page corner, ready to turn it? I usually have to move my hand for that, so I don't care that much if I have to move my hand to press a little button.
And is it so comfortable to hold a paper book? not for me, holding a paperback open with one hand is sometimes quite a feat, more so if I'm lying on my side and the paperback is rather large... I also have to change position for reading even and odd pages, use a bookmark when I stop reading for a while, etc.
Maybe we are all so used to reading paper books that we don't realize how uncomfortable they can be
