And yes, if it was cow leather (and maybe even pig leather) the policies of many a Hindu Temple would require me to leave my canvass bag at the door if the ereader were inside it. My point is that a significant percentage of the population in Canada is either Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, vegan, vegetarian etc and I was surprised that a non-leather alternative was not offered at say $12 instead of $35. And as for environmentalists being upset at using petroleum product (?) materials there is always good old canvass hemp.
Am I a troll? All I remember about Trolls is those ugly midget dolls with long red hair sold in the sixties or eventies - the creatures that according to Scandinavian mythology lived under bridges. I usually don't reply to rude or hysterical posts, preferring to read them and laugh privately.

From Wikipedia:" In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory[citation needed], extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion"
So no I wasnt implying that you are a small plastic redheaded doll or that you live under a bridge but I was certainly suggesting that you meet the above definition.
And please feel free to not reply and to laugh privately... the forum will be better for it!
