Device with a mid-frame structure and reverse draft
First Claim
1. An electronic reading device, comprising:
- a mid-frame structure, the mid-frame structure includinga reverse draft corresponding to a back of the electronic reading device being a predetermined amount wider than a front of the electronic reading device, anda co-molded mid-frame stiffener providing a predetermined rigidity of the electronic reading device;
a display integrated with the front of the mid-frame structure, wherein a space between the display and the mid-frame structure includes a first group of one or more electronic reading device components; and
a back cover integrated with the back of the mid-frame structure, wherein a space between the back cover and the mid-frame structure includes a second group of one or more electronic reading device components.

Abstract
An electronic reading device includes a mid-frame structure such that the mid-frame structure can include a reverse draft. A reverse draft corresponds to a back of the electronic reading device being a predetermined amount wider than a front of the electronic reading device. Additionally, a co-molded mid-frame stiffener provides a predetermined rigidity of the electronic reading device. The electronic reading device also includes a display integrated with the front of the mid-frame structure, wherein a space between the display and the mid-frame structure includes one or more electronic reading device components. Similarly, a back cover is integrated with the back of the mid-frame structure, wherein a space between the back cover and the mid-frame structure includes additional electronic reading device components.
