I can't really speak to all models, as their designs are going to vary quite a bit, but for both Sony Readers (500 and 505) I can tell you that their backsides are flat, and their fronts only slightly less flat due to the control buttons. No bulges.

Perhaps it's too full. Try deleting some books from it and see if the bulge goes away.

I find it easier to hold. It bulges because of the battery. The Kindle is wedge shaped in an effort to make it easier to hold. All of the others are flat.

There was a rumor about it from a blog posted earlier today. It's hardly the sort of thing to repeat as if it were fact and I think it's been pretty soundly countered over on the Kindle forum since E-Ink's own website says it's Viziplex.
