With the Kindle Oasis: when you hold it in your left hand (having flipped it so buttons are on the left) the button orientation will flip too. It will match whatever you've set (your choice, which does which) and STAY that way when you flip it. IE If you like the bottom button as forward, when you flip, the bottom button (now the other physical button) is still "forward".

However, I wish they would reverse the screen touch areas. The left small area is designated for "backward", and that is still true when you hold it in your left hand. Thus, touching the screen with the left thumb is dicey; you may hit the backward area rather than the forward area. Bummer, as this is how I like to page (with screen touch, most of the time).
