I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it. I am reading it in the medium size, where it doesn't show up that much. Nor does it seem apparent in the large size text. But you're right about small... it's odd that so much blank space is there.
The only thing I can figure is that it's because of some sort of expanded "widow protection", in an attempt to format the book so that paragraphs don't break up between pages too much.
As far as not having page turn buttons on the right side, I agree. It would be nice, and more comfortable. But I was told that there is electronics in the right hand side panel that prevents another page turn button. Additionally, the joystick control with the ring is not customizable for page turning. I agree that it would have been nice to do that also. But like you indicate, it's a great device even if it doesn't meet every quality we could desire in a reader yet!
