I didn't want to go through 95 pages or so to find the specific quotes, but I did want to reiterate my support for the original line of discussion.

Dear ALL:
I am still hearing you and yes, the support for thicker devices on MobileRead Forum was very clear on this issue. But, at CES, everybody that came to our booth (thousands) initially responded to how thin and light it is.
I am not arguing and still thinking. Now the Kindle and Sony have gone after the EZ Reader look... thin and light. If I go thick I would get killed.
The EZ Reader is just slightly under .4 inch thickness. It comes in the crush resistent leather case. It is designed so that you can open the case and fold back the top under the bottom while reading. This brings in to .75 inch thickness. If you hold it at the magnetic clasp on the case with the top folded back it is almost an inch and a half.
I am listening and do remember all the comments... but doesn't this work fairly good for those who like thickness and for those who prize thin too? I do not know, so I am asking. Plus, we are having new leather cases made as accessories where you can fold the top under the bottom for a total thickness of 2.8 inch. I am listening and I am trying to act... but CES showed THIN is what the buying public wants.
This is not so simple.
