You can... turn them upside down to become a left-handed device. That way you can be weak-handed with either hand!

Only way to get buttons that are comfy on both sides would be to flip it screen out. That doesn't seem like a very useful position to hold a reader in though.
If you turn it upside down the left hand buttons will be way too high on the reader

The Oasis solves this - buttons are in the middle. Since you tend to not use the back page button much, it works pretty well.
I was skeptical of the "lopsided" design at first but it grew on me and is what I'd prefer in future devices from here on out.

The original Kindle keyboard had perfect page turn buttons and it’s been downhill ever since, though the Oasis is livable.
