I can understand the desire to have a symmetrically shaped reader for aesthetic reasons, but I can't imagine the reason why you couldn't hold a Forma or a Sage comfortably. You don't have to use the buttons.
I don't have a problem with buttons at all. I use them quite a bit on my Boox Max 2; but equally their absence doesn't particularly bother me. I have a tremor in my hands which mean that the usual grip of holding it in one-handed in a corner isn't workable. I read with the reader largely supported by my palm and forefinger on the back, with my thumb providing stability on one edge and the other fingers doing so on the other edge. The Sage and Forma are too wide to be held that way. But, they're also too small for me to rest them across my knee and sofa arm as I do when reading hardbacks. So, basically, they fall between the two positions I find most comfortable. Using them with a stand does work, and I'll move to that if I must - I just prefer holding my e-reader in my hand.
