Better reading experience - remove cover
Dear MobileReaders,
I owned PRS700 for about more than a month now. I had been using it with the cover, the way it was shipped by Sony. Leaving aside all the contrast issues etc, which we cannot help, I found that its really cool and lot better experience if we use the reader without cover, while reading. I tried this after looking at the Kindle 2.0 ads, and never even thought about doing that before. I enjoy my PRS700 a lot more removing the cover, which was very uncomfortable to read. The grip is lot better, and I find the reader very pretty this way. |

The cover, on the other hand makes it easier to hold and avoid dropping the unit. Further more, my reader would not still look new if I didn't used the leatherette magnetic cover. |

It depends on your preferences. I have a cloth cover that goes over my 505 standard cover which helps with slipping.
I also like to have it in its case so it doesn't get damaged. |

I have preferred leaving it in its case (and having cases that I can use the reader in)-I wouldn't want to drop it...or thinking its in its case-put it in my briefcase or purse and then end up breaking it.

I agree with all concerns and preferences. Its a personal choice. Just wanted to share my experience. I felt really good that way. When I'm done with reading, I put it back into the cover. I usually am very careful with my electronics. I don't usually even place my PDA mobile phone on the desk, without placing at least a paper napkin under it (believe me). I'm very scratch conscious person. That said, I still felt better holding the reader in hand without cover. Of course there is risk of dropping etc, and we need to be careful anyways.
Server - I agree, the contrast issues, which I hear a lot about in PRS700, had never been a big issue to me. Florescent, day-light, even in darker light, I could read a lot of times without switching on the front LED lights. Its definitely dull, but not as big an issue. May be if anyone is used to the PRS-505 or any other device, it is tough for them to digest. This is my first ebook reader and I love it. |
