You must be a master magician with such dexterous hands

Maybe it's the way I hold the reader, but if I move a thumb or finger the balance becomes all wobbly.

I've gotten over page turn buttons. I didn't exactly read paperbacks with one hand, so touchscreen only leaves me no worse off than I was. But I would like a reader with buttons. The Glowlight 3 was snatched away from me the moment it came in the door

I want a 6" screen, otherwise the Libra would likely work well for me. When I read paper books, I far preferred mass market paperbacks. Reading a trade paperback or hardcover always made me feel slightly distanced from what I was reading. That's why I stick with the 6" screen instead of something slightly larger.

Page turn buttons do not always allow one handed reading. With the T1, the buttons were places near the bottom and they were not good for one-handed reading.
Yeah, it depends on the buttons. I'm not sure I would like the ones on the Pocketbooks. They've always seemed awkwardly placed. The ones on the Voyage would work for me.

The Nook ST had those big rubbery buttons that you could easily rest a digit on and not worry about accidental page turns. I know some on here have whined a time or two about the ST's rubbery bezels and buttons, but they worked for me.
