Just make a mockup. I always do.
1. Download an image of your favourite reading device from net.
2A. Load an image into your favourite graphics program (I use AutoCAD, because this is what I use at work and I can put image into scale very quickly) you can use Corel Draw, Inkscape (free software) or OpenOffice.org Draw and print the picture in 1:1 scale
2B If you do not have such program as in 2A just print the picture, measure it and make a copy using photocopying machine (Xerox for Americans here) to make a copy in scale so you get 1:1 scale (computing the zoom for the copier from original dimensions and dimensions of printed image is left as an exercise for the reader ;-) )
3. Glue the picture into a piece of cardboard of apropriate thickness.
