Hi all

Introducing my landscape handle (or reader case mod) for the prs505 to make one-handed reading in landscape mode more comfortable:

{see pic below}

Why I made it: one-handed reading is comfortable in portrait mode, but in landscape mode I find the naked reader uncomfortable as the reader's weight is off- centre when held with the left hand.

Now the side page forward/back button is conviniently under my thumb when held with only the left or right hand. The reader isn't fixed to the handle, it's just held at the sides and bottom.

Here it has an optional counterweight at the base of handle to bring the centre of gravity to the middle of the users hand (more comfortable for longer use).

{see pic below}

Just thought I'd share
