That's an important point, Max, but one I've never considered a problem with my 505. I fitted it with one of those flip-top leather covers and the little loop at the back means that, by slipping a couple of fingers through, it can lie safely and cofortably in my palm, leaving the thumb free to turn pages.

Other advantages to the flip-top, by the way, are that the device is solidly free standing if I read while I eat, the top can be used (still single-handedly) to sheild the screen in strong sunlight, it looks like the most expensive hardback on a library shelf ... and one sniff of the leather is enough to settle an argument with those naysayers who complain that readers don't smell like *real* books.

Cheers. Neil
