Amazon Kindle (case back panel removed)

With the case's back panel removed, we get our first look inside the Kindle. Most of the Kindle's circuitry is located on the main PCB.

The SD card reader, speaker, power and wireless on/off switches, cellular card and antennas, and scroll wheel are clearly visible. I believe the thin, contoured metal plate covering most of the Kindle's chips is an EMI shield.
