PRS-300 One-handed operation?

From Sony's description, and the pictures, it is the same weight/layout as the PRS-700, which I owned, but found too top-heavy for my small (tiny) hands.

In the meantime, I bought a used PRS-300 and am enjoying it. Now that I've tried a few other readers, I appreciate how the Sony's firmware is more usable for people with large libraries. If only I didn't like the nook's wireless download and customizability, so much, too!

I'm right handed, but nearly always hold my 300 in my left hand, thumb stretched across to the right arrow key. If feels so natural I don't even notice it. My hands are medium sized, but my fingers are long, so YMMV. My wife has smaller hands than me, and her 600 (bigger) has the Sony cover w/light, so she usually uses 2 hands, but I've seen her use one pretty often, with the cover folded back (touch screen means she doesn't need to stretch).

I'm right handed, but I've always held books in my left hand when I read on my side as a kid. So, it feels very natural holding my 600 that way.
