Electronic display devices and methods are described. In one embodiment, a
display device comprises a housing and a display area provided within the
housing to display content for a user. Memory is provided within the
housing to hold data that is to be rendered into user-viewable content. An
electrophotographic assembly is provided within the housing and is
configured to electrophotographically render user-viewable content from
the data that is held in the memory. A loop of material is disposed
proximate the electrophotographic assembly and is configured to receive
electrophotographically rendered content and present the content for user
viewing within the display area. A control area is provided on the housing
and includes one or more user-engagable structures to permit a user to
interact with the device. The control area is positioned on the housing to
accommodate one-handed use of the device. In one embodiment, the control
area is provided on a sidewall that extends between front and back faces
of the housing. The user-engagable structures can comprise any suitable
user engagable structure, with an exemplary structure comprising a
rocker-type switch which accommodates one-handed use of the display
reader.
