In fact, I've considered troubling Poppaea about this very thing, keeping in mind the expense. (However, it's best to keep in mind she's a busy woman with a queue of suitors. That tall man with a mustache I keep hearing about from relatives, for example.)

And as for the over-sized pocket calculator look with the Tuff-Luv Multi-View . . . my, what a PROTECTED over-sized pocket calculator! And I also like the fact that I'm less of a target for would-be thieves. The whole set-up looks like one of those horrible PDAs from the nineties.

It really does look that way. However, you've just mentioned two of the four conspicuous virtues of the TLM: (1) Better protection than the OC; (2) a generic appearance that allows for thief-free absent-mindedness (people won't be drawn to your reader and ask you about it, but neither will they try to slip it into their bags when you're distracted); (3) amazing versatility (It's a velcro'd lock-position platformed portrait reader. No, it's landscape. No, it's a magnet-fastened picture-frame-style reader to hold with one hand or set face-up on a sunny table. No, it's a magnet-fastened full-on body glove.); (4) so cheap at the moment it's practically free.
