Reverse page turn sides?

Is there a hack that I can use to reverse the page turn direction from side presses? When holding the PW in one hand my hands aren't big enough to reach the other side or efficiently perform a swipe.

It is just like real life, you don't get any 'do overs', there is no going back.

What model? (there are three or more 'PW' models)
What firmware version?
Please update your info box with the Kindle model(s) you have so we don't have to ask every time you forget to say.

IIRC, some model / firmware versions allowed you to adjust the positions of the touch zones.
That is, you could bring the 'back zone' close enough for you to reach.

My prefix of PW2 didn't stick, sorry. So PW2, no idea on firmware though it is fairly recent. I'll have to check tonight.

And do a quick search of the User's Guide that is installed on it, that might answer your question before I can.

Otherwise -
Look forward to growing at least one long fingernail.

Unfortunately, fingernail won't work with a capacitive screen.

Spoil sport!

Just think how long I could have gone with: "Wait for fingernail to grow longer." without putting any more effort than that into answering this question.

The "page back" field is fairly skinny. I have small hands, but still manage to reach over that to touch (not swipe) the "page forward" field. Sometimes I hold it by the lower corner of the device (balanced in my palm) and have an easier time reaching the "page forward" field. I'm not on a PW2, though.
