yes, i had a Kindle for a Month. It didnt happen Alot. but it happened, Enough. I adjust alot. or i get up and move. or do something that flips the page... and to comfortably turn the page back, 1 handed, required me to use my Nose
lol. the page turned when the kindle got wacked against something on the right while i was holding with my left hand right above the keyboard (that was the most comfortable position.)
my main gripe with the kindle is its Size, its just so large, i couldnt put it in my pocket. and i dont carry a bag with me anywhere i go. but i did carry my PRS 500 everwhere i went.
the 700 can go everywhere the 500 went, In my Pocket, and even give me comfortable lighting while im waiting for the bus at 2:00AM after i have taken my girlfriend home.
for the month i had the kindle i loved it, i showed it off to everyone who asked. but it was always in my hand. even when i would have rather had the hand empty.
also the point i was trying to make was you can hold the 700 anyway you want.
while the kindle you have to hold it in some way that is not Prone to turn the pages (like if you wanted to hold it anywhere on the right side for example. as the button is literally on the side. you have to hook your thumb up and over the button.) the kindle can be held lot of ways, but some are Prone to accidental page flips, while the 700 can literally be held anyway and never have a page flip accidently.
If i actually paid for books i would have kept the Kindle.. its just so simple and easy..
But ive got a huge Library already. so the wireless feature was Moot for me. and that is the only thing the Kindle holds over the Sony.
