For me that means 2 handed use or it falls out of my hand as my supporting digit is now moving away from the grip.

For reading, I have to have buttons. I change pages a lot, I read a lot. Not sure how else to describe this. The Voyage keeps falling out of my hand as the bezel is so small that my thumb has to be a bit turned and then I lose the grip and off it goes. I can make do with the Voyage, but I know its there and don't get into the story as much as the Oasis.
But for the touch screen, you don't have to use your thumb. You can use your index finger of the other hand. Can you please explain how that's a problem? I do understand how using your thumb (to touch the screen) on the hand that's holding the Reader can be a problem.
