Question...When you read pBooks, did you complain about the page turn method?

Not everyone reads at a desk or sitting upright.
I prefer to read in bed 1 handed.
The Astak (jinke V5) has a jog wheel on the right edge that I use 98% of the time for page turns.
When I use the K4NT, I run inverted display as the forward button is in the
wrong place Forward under Index finger (same finger I turned paper books with), TOP LOCATION, Lab126, not side. In addition, I need to now use a CASE because they made the button motion towards the back and I need a gripping point.
As you get older, you lose some fine motor skills (I
never had them). Precision tap, swipes, pinches are difficult (I can't even do the gnip-whatever) for me. The first thing I had to do on my Touchpad Laptop, was turn OFF tapping (99% false activations), and I carry a travel mouse in the bag for use where there is enough surface.
I am not alone. These short sighted manufacturers are aiming to disenfranchise many seniors whose eyesight is still good enough to read books.
Bring back the page turn buttons. You are saving less than $1 ( simple Satellite/cable box remote wholesales for under $2 in bulk. it has lots of buttons)
