PRS-700, on the other hand, already have a bunch of buttons, even including a left button and a right button. Already having these, the up and down buttons should not be difficult to add...
While I agree the buttons would not be difficult to add - I think it would take away the benefit of the current button structure. I tend to hold mine as I would a normal book: One-handed with my thumb in the "spine" to hold the book open. With the placement of the forward and back buttons where they are, and the size they are - I can easily turn pages - with little/no effort.

Not really sure how this structure could be altered to include the up/down - while maintaining this elegant page turning solution. Would be interested in seeing some concepts though.
