You can even patch it to make both buttons go forward so you have two different usable positions for flipping to the next page. It's also easy to switch hands since the display auto-rotates to match.

All in all I'm very happy with the device as an ereader... the random reboot weirdness and usb connection issue and power led always on issue remains to be seen but I can work around those for now.

The reboot issue is gone with devmode / wifi always on (at cost of higher battery consumption).

The usb connection works if you connect from within EPUB book (not home menu, not kepub).

The power led (which for some reason gets stuck in always-on state for me) I have forcibly disabled with an udev rule.
With 4.30, I've not had any issue with rebooting and I don't need devmode/WiFi on to keep the Libra 2 stable.
