update. the kindle I had with buttons & 3 pressure settings would have been voyage, not oasis
I just re-tried a couple of things:
with a flat thumb resting on a forma button it takes a hard squeeze between thumb and the rest of the hand that is at the back of the case, to change page. With a curled thumb on the button it takes less pressure but keeping a thumb curled for an hour while reading is un-natural
if i hold forma with left hand & with the thick side at the left, and set that to be screen tap area for next page, I can have a thumb resting just off the screen on or above thick edge of frame, and tap the screen with minimal pressure.
and I can invert device & tap settings every now & again so that next page tap area is on the right, and my right hand does the work
one reason I stopped with kindles and kindle apps is that you cant have "tap left of screen" = next page ( unless they have improved that recently) it has to be tap on the right for next page, always - so using left hand predominantly does not work.
