It's also a slightly different color from the inside.
I have to say if I was choosing a cover and had a choice, I would prefer black without the contrasting stitching, but the brown cover is sleek, fits the device nicely and holds it securely, and gives great protection for carrying the Cybook in my purse with my other gadgets and girl-things. I have really come to like it in the four whole days I've owned the Cybook.  I particularly like the magnets; as has been said by others, once you've had a few reading sessions while folding the cover back, the magnets work great and hold the cover shut.  |
Tip to make it easer to turn a page on cybook gen3
To make it easy to turn over a page on my cybook gen3 I cut out a square piece of cardboard, (a piece from a leather belt of similar thickness would be better), of similar colour to my cybook leather case, fitting the square hole in the leather case, leaving a small square hole in the centre so that I was able to press the centre button. I use electrical tape to keep it in place. It is much easer on the thumb. It would be helpful if the the designer of the leather case could alter it, leaving just a hole in the middle, with printed arrows around the hole. I must say the square must fit pretty perfectly, similar thickness to the leather case, so that it looks part of the case.
