Of course what we can't see from that picture is if the unit is also leaning on something at the same time. If so, that would explain the lack of finger/wrist strain.

Good point. Yes, I am holding it completely with my fingers, but that's the way I've held paperbacks for years. And the 505 weighs the same as an average paperback so I'm pretty used to it. But I can see that someone who's not used to holding a book that way may find it uncomfortable after long periods of time.
