I read with my PB360 in landscape orientation, but this is exactly how I hold it, three fingers behind with the reader cradled betweenmy thumb and little finger. My thumb bends down to change the page with the 5-way right button or just a press of my thumb on the right wing.

My two [euro]cents/pennies about page-turning? I use the four-ways controller, and have reprogrammed the two wings buttons for fuctions other than plain page-turning (i.e. getting to the table of contents, using the dictionary, changing font size etc). Which works quite well, because you don't risk too much to use them by chance (wing buttons being a bit more resistant than the four-ways controller), but you could want to want them there quick and handy. Another mod I used is the short-pressing of the power button, which I've set to back to the main menu.

The PB360 is a wonderful machine for its potential in adapting itself to multiple needs. I have no problem using the wings, but since it's easier for my fingers to use the controller, I can use the wings for other functions I use, without passing through the menu.

Thanks so much!

Hi, all. Thanks so much for all your suggestions. I'd like to see the elastic stretched across the back in action, but just holding the reader in a with my fingers straight across the back with my thumb on the top wing, aligned in front with my fingers in the back, has made a huge improvement in how the reader's weight balances on my hand. I'm so glad I've given it more of a chance.

One will never stop wondering on how many different thoughts one can hear from users)))
I always thought that PB360 was the most comfortable to hold out of ALL readers there....)))))
