I know what you mean. It is really a hassle to read on a Nook. However, I just keep coming back because of the buttons on both sides. I am left handed but I seem to change hands a lot. My Oasis really bugged me having to rotate the reader. That is why I haven't bought a Kobo yet. I bought the Colorsoft and I read on it for about 5 months. I like it fine and I even trained myself to be able to tap with my left thumb to turn pages. But when BN put the GL4 on sale last month, I couldn't resist. My husband took over the GL4+ and I just missed the buttons.
