I showed my 8 year old son my PRS 500 and...

His IMMEDIATE reaction without hesitation (he's right handed) is why do you turn the pages here. Seriously, what were they thinking? I am LEFT handed and find it awkward

He also mentioned it's good for fun reading, but too slow to look things up for school. Kids catch on quick I think lol.

Interesting. I am left handed too. On the 500 I turned the page with the circle button on the bottom left. It fell right under my thumb. then again my hand if probable bigger than an 8 year olds.

I assume the answer you gave him was... "we'll a lame adult designed it."

On my 505 if you fold it your left hand would be in a good spot to turn the page.
