Electronic media reader

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electronic media reader according to one implementation;

FIG. 2 is a front plan view of the electronic media reader of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a left side elevation view of the electronic media reader of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a bottom elevation view of the electronic media reader of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a back plan view of the electronic media reader of FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a right side elevation view of the electronic media reader of FIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a top elevation view of the electronic media reader of FIG. 1;

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of an electronic media reader according to another implementation; and,

FIG. 9 is a front plan view of the electronic media reader of FIG. 8, the left, bottom, back, right, and top views of this implementation being identical to those shown in FIGS. 3 7, respectively.

The broken lines shown in FIGS. 1 and 8 around the exterior of the screens would align with and obstruct the solid lines defining the edges of the screens when viewed from a plan view and have, therefore, been omitted from FIGS. 2 and 9, respectively, for clarity.
