Cool 1st thing I did...

I used it 'naked' from the start:

As I said earlier:

The buttons were no doubt placed by space aliens with 8 tentacles because there's no other rational explanation for their goofy placement.
The (useless) keyboard just makes it's size/weight bigger for no good reason at all.
The only way I've found that approaches in-the-hand comfort is in landscape mode with the KB at the right...and in the case so the tabs which hold it in are not in the way.
It is also bigger and heavier than I'd like - and this was reinforced when I got the Mentor...spoiled by the small/light JB...baffled by the big/heavy Augen...and once again spoiled by the small/light Mentor, and it's all good !

I like the TB well enough - and had I $$$ to spare I'd happily keep it around too, but that is not the case $-wise and I've decided that small/light in a reader IS better for me.

Best Wishes.
