If you want buttons, fine, put them at the bottom so the reader isn't wider. I see no reason for buttons myself, and was very happy once touch screens came into being so I didn't have to use them. A light touch on the screen is all it takes, no need to swipe, just touch lightly. The buttons on the Sony were easy to use though, and were placed where they were easy to use, I could keep my thumb on it as I was holding the reader, and could depress it when needed.
If you want to make the Libra 2 less wide and kee buttons on the side, then you ruin it. You end up putting the button in the way of where you'd hold it. So the only way to make it less wide and keep the buttons out of the way is to put the buttons under the screen like Sony did.
