I would love a button more convenient with the right hand also. I miss it every day when I think about switching hands. Right hand is okay, with thumb on the big page turn button, but a more convenient button (where the joystick is) would be really nice.

The reason there is no page turn on the RHS column is that apparently there is too much electronics in there, so there's no room.

Now that I've read a couple of books on it, I also would have appreciated if the little page buttons on the left column were raised a little more. They sort of sink into the fleshy part of my thumb so I have to press a bit, and it also doesn't have much travel or a good click response, which is less satisfying. But now we're being really nitpicky.

One thing I'm keeping an eye on is whether or not anyone finds that the page buttons wear out from lots of usage. My Sony Clie's main up/down button got worn out and finicky from excessive use due to e-book reading. (Lots of page turns because of the tiny screen!) But I think the Reader is made with lots of clicking in mind, and the controls are sturdier looking than the little control on my Clie. Besides I have the extended accidental handling warranty, which I assume would cover any problems in the next two years at least.
