The bezel is too wide. I don't mind the larger space on the bottom, but for me, the screen should go all the way to the edge of the device. And there should be a forward/backward button on the side, preferably on either side (this would help if you're reading in bed, and turn from side to side )

But how would you hold it one-handed, and push the side buttons if there is no bezel to hold on to? That's what I don't understand about having a very narrow bezel - nothing to hold on to and you'd have to use two hands?

It looks just small enough that the centre button fits most people - side buttons result in a more cramped hold if you only use one hand.
