hiaig-

I second the motion on rubberization, like on the EBookwise EB-1150. You can hold on to it with one hand with much less gripping fatigue. I got some of that bumpy looking no slip shelf liner you can get in Walmart and put it on the Lite's battery cover with double sided tape.

I find that USB cover a nuisance because you need to grip the reader to open it (often pushing side buttons while doing it), then with it open, the locking tab is perfectly positioned to obscure the status LED. These readers are not waterproof anyway, and I would love to just cut this cover off. But the other end of the shaft would fall into the unit and rattle, and I don't feel like trying to take it apart. I'm too busy using it.
