Any way to make both buttons do forward page?
Is there any way or hack to do this? When I'm reading in bed I frequently rotate the device, and find it very annoying to have to keep changing the button settings. It would be very convenient to have an option to make both buttons do "next page".

Yes. There is patch for that in the developers corner. I actually use that particular patch among others.

Odd. When my Forma or Sage rotate between the two portrait states, the buttons switch so the bottom button (below my thumb) is always forward and the top button (above my thumb) is back whether I am using my right or left hand to hold the device.

I thought that's how it works too, but I don't have a Libra, Forma or Sage.

Yes that is how it works, if top is next page right handed, when reversed (lefthanded) the other button will be the next page

In general I don't like the positions of the buttons. I think they should be further away from the center, and I've seen that other people have the same opinion. Also it feels heavy and off balance to me. It was a lot easier for me to hold my old H2O. |
