Flying with the Cybook

When my children were toddlers, I discovered a wonderful stlye of pocketbook with a side compartment just the perfect size to hold a diaper & a plastic bag with wipes. When the diapers were no longer needed, the space was quickly filled with a book that fit perfectly in the compartment. That space now holds my CyBook - a perfect fit!

I carried my brand new Cybook in its own pocket in my pocketbook on to a plane (that flys) and stored it under my seat when I ate the "snack" provided. The only problem I experienced occurred because I sat in the middle seat with a fixed light that beamed directly on to the screen causing a stong glare. I had to hold the Cybook at an angle in order to see the screen. I resolved that by placing my all purpose pocketbook on the pull-down tray and using it as a brace for the Cybook to lean against. I truly enjoyed four hours of nearly uninterrupted reading while flying.

Note: The attendants at the airport security checkpoints both ways wanted to send the Cybook through the X-ray machine. When I insisted on hand inspections, they actually weighed it on their little scales!
