Yes, I am shallow in this way
. As opposed to my first cover for my older Kobos, this one is comfortable enough to use that I might actually carry my Kobo with me, rather than reading on my smartphone when I am out and about. It was too much of a PITA, for me to take it out of the cover for a five minute read. With the Touch and the new plummy cover, reading while it is in the cover is just fine, though I like my Touch nekkid for prolonged reading.
