It could have a proper grip, be weighted if it seems appropriate, or even have hollow compartments to hold extra SD cards or a USB cable to charge (if the cable were small enough anyway). As much as I'd like to see it, let the battery function go.
So, as long as the original device had a bezel that could accept the after-market grip, with buttons that were appropriate, it would still be "thin" and you wouldn't lose your market to the competition.

I've been thinking along those lines too. What I've been picturing (although it may be a bit deep) is a "toilet paper tube" stuck to the side of the reader. The reader could fit in a slot in the tube.
This tube could be done as an aftermarket product and even be used with multiple readers - maybe a flange sticking out of the tube and velcro'ed to the reader.
If the reader was made with this in mind, it could have an electrical connection as well. You could add controls and also an extended battery.
