How much does one patent application cost to file? And how close is the desing parameters? So how many desing patents one needs to get all variations covered?
Just for interest...
Design patents combined with the justice system that currently seem to exist is quite problematic, at least from some viewpoint...

More important considerations won out though and unluckily the e-readers I've gotten so far don't do it.

After a few thousands paged and those tens, hundred or few hundred milliseconds lost whit each turn is it worth it? It's one of those small details that do look good, but get in the way of usability eventually.
