the insane thinness of a lot of these machines is starting to look like a bad thing to me because the way I end up having to hold them is so patently artificial that my hands get all weird. I'm a big gripper. I like to get my hands all over my books and really get a good hold on them and to frequently change my hand positions to avoid stiffness. I really can't do any of that with my e-book reading devices and I'm beginning to get very aggravated.

I hear ya. I would never use my Kindle without a cover for this reason. To me it feels like holding a Gameboy or a calculator. I can't really hold that against the designers, because the form factor of the ereader allows me to add the additional physical properties with a cover that suits my taste. Yes it adds cost, but it puts the decision in my hands, not theirs, and not all covers are alike. Also a lot of people very much prefer the Kindle on its own, so our preference is not universal.
