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.
I see what you mean. My hands are too small to hold even a 6'' reader that way, so it didn't enter my mind. Could you not hold a square-shaped reader in the landscape mode with two hands, thumbs on the wide bottom edge and other fingers supporting the back and the right and left edges? Turning the page is very easy in this position, just tap the screen with your thumb.
