Ergonomics
Robert,
Just a comment on the ergonomics of what it appears they are talking about with the EB1100.
[Full disclosure: I do not have either, nor have I ever actually seen one]
However, from the pictures in the wiki, my impression is the ergonomic factor is the nice, full grip on the side. As a person with large hands, when I hold something small, my hand begins to cramp. As an example, when I cook, trying to hold the handly of my stirring spoons, aka wooden spoons, soon gets my thumb muscles to cramp. However, I have purchased a new silicone set that has a big handle, similiar to the handles on big screwdriver sets. It is so much easier to hang onto, without cramping.
So to my point: one of the factors I worry about is how thin the devices are, and will my hand cramp holding it for long periods. When the Kindle first came out, I specifically noticed the wider side thinking that it would be better to hold.
Robert, I agree with you 100% that thin and light is what is needed for long periods, however, trying to hold something thin for a long period will be very difficult for those of us with large, and chubby, hands. Maybe a removeable grip, preferrably silicon, that can be adjusted as needed.............
