With the 505 I hold the book with my left hand and use the center joypad button to turn the page.
To each his or her own.  |
That's inevitably what I wind up doing, but its awkward, because then I'm holding the thing near the BOTTOM and the weight is balanced wrong. And because the cover is on, its heavier.
And I suppose I make it even worse by having the cover with the (heavy) booklight built in. That one's on me, I guess. I should just ditch that thing. Still, if I remove it from the cover, it still seems a bit unnatural to hold it far down so my thumb is near that bottom button.
Again, as you say, its preference. Obviously I get around it, but its also one of the reasons I've liked the Astak. Left side page buttons make further up AND a page turn level on the right side as well. A worse screen that the Sony, but hey, that's the breaks.
