So far, Sony PRS-700 and PRS-505 is the only where I've seen that includes a cover that acts and fits like a book cover. The cover is hooked on to the reader via two holes on the edges of the reader as opposed to the typical four elastic strap across four corners.

And what about getting rid of the keyboard and make it touchscreen?
Yeah my impression from watching that video is that the DX is in huge need of a touch screen interface. However, that would add cost and kill battery life which Amazon, I'm sure, didn't want to do...

Well assuming they use Wacom technology. Otherwise they would kill screen clarity like the prs-700
