I also would like the page turn buttons on the right side to be placed higher. Or perhaps if they just made the page forward button a little longer it would be easier for me to reach. I hold the book near the top, and it's a bit of a reach to press the next page button without taking my right hand off the reader.
I wouldn't mind if they added a couple of extra font sizes. I usually can read the smallest size font with most books - especially now that I have the lighted case to help out these old eyes. Sometimes I have a book or a pdf file that is a strain to see with the smallest font, but the medium font is too big. If we had smallest, smaller, medium, bigger, biggest fonts, it would help.
I do find the number buttons a bit of a problem. I'm always accidentally pressing one. Luckily, I finally realized I could just press the menu key to clear out the page selection I accidentally started. I think they should move them to the left side, near the spine of the cover. They would still line up nicely with the menu options, but they wouldn't be so easily hit when you're holding the reader.
Not a deal breaker, but I wish they'd make it easier to get to the "home" menu without having to back your way out through multiple layers. Sometimes I do want the book menu, but sometimes I want to go all the way out to the first menu.
All in all, I love my reader, and I can think of few things I'd change about its physical form.
Edited to add: One other thing I'd like - I want the time displayed in the status bar. I know it would only update when I changed the page, and I don't have a problem with that. That's still better than having to navigate your way out to the main menu and then going into settings to see the time. I know that there is a customizer that will give me the time, but I don't want to use that to change my reader. I want Sony to give it to me!
