8. The accessory mount of claim 1 , wherein the accessory mount comprises a cover coupled to the base and configured to cover at least one side of the electronic book reader device when the electronic book reader device is attached via the first hook and the second hook.

9. An accessory mount for an electronic device comprising:

a base;

a first hook configured to engage a first slot in an electronic device, the first hook comprising a substantially planar engagement member having a barb and being moveably engaged to the base, a distal end of the first hook pointing substantially toward a first side of the base;

a spring configured to bias the first hook in a latched configuration; and

a second hook configured to engage a second slot in the electronic device, the second hook comprising an engagement member having a curve describing an arc in a single plane with a distal end pointing substantially away from the first hook, the second hook being fixed to the base, such that the second hook is substantially immoveable with respect to the base during an engaging of the accessory mount to the electronic book reader device, the distal end pointing substantially toward a second side of the base, the second side being a substantially opposite side of the base from the first side of the base;

wherein the first hook is moveably engaged to the base such that the first hook is moveable independently from the second hook.

10. The accessory mount of claim 9 , wherein a distance between outermost edges of the first hook and the second hook comprises at least 90 mm and at most 150 mm.

11. The accessory mount of claim 10 , wherein the first hook comprises a substantially planar shaft, and the second hook comprises a substantially planar shaft, wherein the shafts of the first and second hooks are in a plane substantially parallel to a plane of the base.

12. The accessory mount of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first or second hooks is configured to establish an electrically conductive pathway between the electronic device and the accessory mount.

13. The accessory mount of claim 9 , wherein the first hook comprises a substantially planar shaft, and the second hook comprises a substantially planar shaft, wherein the shafts of the first and second hooks are in a plane substantially parallel to a plane of the base.

14. The accessory mount of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first or second hooks is configured to establish an electrically conductive pathway between the electronic device and the accessory mount.

15. The accessory mount of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the first or second hooks conducts electric current between the electronic device and the accessory mount.

16. The accessory mount of claim 9 , wherein the accessory mount comprises a cover coupled to the base and configured to cover at least one side of the electronic device when the electronic device is attached via the first hook and the second hook.

17. An accessory mount for an electronic device comprising:

a base;

a first hook configured to engage a first slot in an electronic device, the first hook comprising a substantially planar engagement member having a barb and being moveably engaged to the base;

a spring configured to bias the first hook in a latched configuration; and

a second hook configured to engage a second slot in the electronic device, the second hook comprising an engagement member having a curve describing an arc in a single plane with a distal end pointing substantially away from the first hook, the second hook being fixed to the base, the base having three dimensions and the accessory mount configured to engage with the electronic device by placing the second hook into the second slot and at least moving the electronic device in an arc direction to bring the first slot into engagement with the first hook.

18. The accessory mount of claim 17 , wherein a distance between outermost edges of the first hook and the second hook comprises at least 90 mm and at most 150 mm.
