Lying down... well... some people lie on their backs, some on their sides, and some fluff up a pillow and lie on their stomachs. Sometimes on couches (so pretty naturally on their backs there, I'd think), and some only on a bed.
These all have to present different scenarios for eBook reader positioning.
Even still, even if the reader is propped on your stomach, or partially on a desk (presumably being angled up by your hand), or something totally different I still wonder at the whole "page turn buttons at the bottom" thing. I still don't get that.

Definitely agree. Difficult for hardware makers to make "perfect" devices with so much variety in people's preferences and uses. Difficult for buyers to find a "perfect" device as well. Maybe that's just me, though. I find good features in various devices, but nothing with everything I want. So I go for closest fit and hope something better emerges. I appreciate that strides have been made, though.
