I really liked the Jetbook, but now after seeing it in use sense it's not likely for me because the page turn control on the left is a slider. I would have liked to hear and see how easy it was to use one handed. When I could still hold books I always read one handed. Even would turn pages with my left thumb some days, but, as a rule I probably almost always turned pages right the right hand. Then came my PDA's and the clie nx73v which, with it's jog wheel and Mobireader software make one handed use my fav way to use a smaller form factor reader.

I still think I need to try out one of these are BB&B to know first hand...thanks!!
Actually there are three page turn controls. The slider on the left (which I never use), a rocker switch on the lower left, and the right left arrow keys on the four way switch. So it doesn’t matter if you hold it in your right hand or left hand, there is a convenient page turn button right under your thumb.
