Yes, I have tried to position the toolbar at the left and right and
unlike at the bottom the page gets rescaled which I would find annoying too.
Another thing is that most people have wide screens in which case the
bottom should be at least as fast accessible as the side so I wouldn't
change the current position.
If the page wouldn't be rescaled though the side would be fine with me too.

And yes, Kendy's suggestion looks great although there have to be a
fallback for full screen, higher zoom level and similar.
