I'm right handed and I hold the Reader with my left hand in a similar way. But I find it more comfortable to have the bottom edge not hitting my palm. And that makes my thumb higher then the buttons.

I really wish for a tiny remote pair of buttons with a magnet that we could reposition anywhere. |

I like the rocker bar on the iLiad. It's easier than reading a paperback one-handed, anyway. Not as easy as the eBw 1150 was, though (you could swap the forward/back buttons or flip 180 degrees). BTW, chimps are stronger than humans. |

Never found a big enough lanyard. The ones I have pirated from that collection of cameras are barely big enough to fit hands through.

A question re the new CyBook. I've seen people mention here a user-replacable battery. What makes people believe that this will be the case? The spec on the Bookeen web site simply says:

I rather suspect that's nothing more than a "hangover" from the specs of the previous CyBook, which did have a removeable battery. The fact that the spec says that the battery is "Built-in" makes me believe that it will not be user-replacable. We shall see.

I think Hadrien said he'd seen one of these units, maybe he noticed whether there was a battery hatch or not ...? |

I'm going to order one as soon as Bookeen tell me that I can (I'm on their mailing list), so we'll see!

We may see sooner, I think the NAEB folks are supposed to get their samples shortly.

NAEB? Sorry, that's an acronym I'm not familiar with.
