Yesterday I was reading in the bed and removed the original cover to see how it feels to hold it. Well...it was very difficult. The housing has a very nice finish but it just slips through my fingers. It's very hard to get a grip on it and therefore easy to drop. So, are my hands that smooth or is the Reader too slippery?
Another thing that surprised me was how hard it is to put the cover back on! I'm positive that there will be a few people on this planet who cracked their screen when they tried to push it back in.
