Just to clarify, by bottom, I meant at the bottom edge. On your Kobos it's not at the bottom, it's on the back. I also have both the Libra models, and there is no problem whichever way I hold it. The Libra H2O/2 is an example of how it should be done. I breathed a sigh of relief when I switched from the Kindle Paperwhite to Libra H2O! A much more well thought out design IMO.

I have attached images of the power buttons on Kindle Paperwhite, Kobo Clara and Kobo Nia. Kobo Nia seems to have a better design with a recessed button. The first image of the Paperwhite was found via Reddit, I'm not the only one to complain about this absurd design choice.
