The thicker, more ergonomic holder as an add-on accessory is a pretty good idea. It wouldn't even have to give up the battery support. It might, for example, contain an extra battery and have a wee little cable that snakes out and plugs into the power socket of the base device! As long as the holder also has a power socket (so I can still plug it in if needed) that'd be just fine. And if your base device's battery life is good enough, let the added batter capability go.

Note: replace "power socket" with "USB socket" if USB-only is the way you've gone. The overall point remains the same.

Dear Xenophon:

As mentioned, using the added thickness with an optional spare extended life battery is a really great suggestion and a winner. I am going to try on this!

One thing we are VERY conscious of is what I call "misfires" where just by holding it you can accidently make a page jump. Harper-Collins first showed me this problem on the old Kindle. The EZ Reader does not have this problem and my new EZ Reader PRO also has avoided this problem. I promise we will not make this mistake if I can help it!

Thank you,

Robert B
