My thumb joints can't take the motion of squeezing and holding something so thin. Also, I read while laying on my side in bed and prop my Oasis using the cover.

That first little basic Kindle with the thin narrow page turn buttons was horrible to hold and use. It was too small and those buttons were a nightmare.
I think that a lot of electronics such as phones and Readers are getting to be too thin and that does make them harder to hold. I find my iPhone 6s not nice to hold when it is out of the case because it is too thin.

As for a case for a Reader, I find my H2O easier to hold.
