Now let's talk about Max Carta button layout. Its on/off button is located in the bottom. This silly design makes it impossible to put it on my desktop book holder without pressing power button. If I want to hold it for reading on the left or the right edges, because the page up/down button is in the bottom, I have to change my hand position to flip the page.

I'm exactly in the same position.
Terrible design choice.
Zero ergonomics.
The screen is great but the product is terrible when in use and that is such a shame.
I can understand why they did it:
the motherboard is at the bottom and that simplifies manufacturing. But they could just have placed power and page up and down at the bottom sides instead.
Button placement is crucial especially when there is no touch input.
The MAX Carta is super light there was no need to have a thin body.
Hopefully this will be resolved with a touchscreen on the MAX Carta 2.
