I finally purchased a Sony 950, opting for the ability to borrow library e-books and the eInk screen. I'm pleased so far, but am baffled by the inability to find a cover. Sony isn't selling them any more on their site. Does this mean they are doing away with the model? I recognize that many more nooks and kindles are being sold, but surely there is money to be made selling cases for the Sony 950? I've read the posts on Sony 950 case options on the site, but most are from 2010 and either they aren't available any more (BookArmor, Sony cases) or they involve compromises on fit/usage. The Sony site says the Manhattan Sony store carries the case, so I will try to head over there, but the lack of options is both baffling and worrisome to me. Does anyone have an explanation? Or suggestions?
