I do agree that there should be more options for the page buttons on different sides of the device so it could be a truly ergonomic, hold-anywhere device.
I agree - holding it like that, I find the buttons well-placed. If I move it to my right hand to read, the tip of my thumb overlaps the bottom left button - so for either hand, when reading one-handed, I find the controls perfectly placed. When I go two-handed (not often, just when I've got a minute and want to sneak in a couple of pages), though, there's nothing near any of my fingers or thumbs for page turning, and I have to awkwardly stretch a finger over to poke at the "next page" button.
