i think ergonomic wise the best thing is to allow the customers to map the keys like Pocketbook does. I too like the upper wing button on the 360 to be next page but some people want the bottom one to be next page because they hold it differently than i do.
Touch screen gestures need to allow mapping as well. I might be comfortable swiping from right to left to change the page but someone else might want to "drag" up to change to the next page.
rotation is also key. i prefer my buttons on the side of the display but others want them at the bottom. all readers should be able to rotate to up/down/left/right.

fantastically. its very well thought out and it has been tweaked since introduced. it allows you to modify when the page turn happens by degrees in steps of 5 degrees from 20-70 degrees. So you can set it for 20 if you want to happen with very little tilt or you can set it for 45 if you worry about extraneous page turns. you can also set it to only turn forward so if you dont have to worry that you've suddenly gone back a page.
silent, one-handed page turning that works amazingly well
