Peto,
I am considering adding a mod to include such a band on the top. Most of the time I have my finger on the book, but it would be nice to have something holding the reader down in case the book tilts forward.
Skwerl,
I cut through the paper with an ExactoKnife. I made a stencil from a piece of old cardboard, from a cereal box and used it to trace the border. I then cut each side of the square about five times, pulling out the sheets about 10 pages at a time.
While cutting, I used paper binder clips to keep the cut pages together. After it was all done, I had to straighten out the right edge because it was sort of slanted and the reader did not fit in well. Finally, I made a mixture of glue and water, at about 3 parts glue to one part water, and mixed it up in an old medicine bottle. I brushed the mixture on to the sides first, while applying pressure to the top. Then I placed some five pound weights on the top of the case while the sides dried, which only took about 10 minutes. I then brushed the inside of the case, including the bottom.
Overall I am happy with it, but I think I will add a band on top and I have an idea to convert this into a bed tray as well.
