If you make the bezel that thin, there'll be only one way to hold the reader: at the thicker bezel side. With a thicker bezel, you might want to hold it at the thicker bezel side, but you can hold it on the other 3 sides as well, if you want, without touching the screen.

The idea is the oasis is very thin except for the bulge behind the wide bevel where you are supposed to grip it with. The majority of the unit's weight is on that side so it's not going to be comfortable to hold it by the other edges, so you may as well reduce the bevel for maximum compactness.
