You can easily turn pages on the Kindle 2 from either side -- the only drawback is that the buttons on the right side have a selection for Next Page, but above that is a Home button. Usually to get back to the previous page you need to hit the Previous page button,which is only located on the left side of the device. The left side of the device also has a Next Page button.

So, sometimes when I want Previous Page, I accidentally hit the Home button on the right side, but that is an exceedingly easily corrected problem ...
For the most part, I like the Kindle arrangement, but sometimes I also hit the wrong button. The Nook seems to have an even better way of doing things; with both sides having page forward buttons and above those, page back buttons. The home button appears to be located in the center of the touchscreen.

But the Nook is also an ounce heavier than the Kindle. This could "outweigh" the button advantage.
