I have a couple of old e-readers, and wanted to get them up-and-running to see if they still worked. The problem I have is with a Pyrus Mini (maybe... 8 years old?) It seems to work ok, but the case is... disintegrating. It's the rubbery/latexy(?) coating that is just sticky as hell - sort of melting (similar to if you peeled an old label off something, and it left all the sticky stuff behind). I've tried a couple of things, and the only thing that seems to work _a little_ is Iso. However, that takes an AWFUl lot of elbow grease - and I'm not entirely sure it'll work on the buttons.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
