IMHO, it would be insane not to have something to protect it when you're not reading, but as for reading without a case, probably OK. Just keep your head on straight and don't punt it off the couch while you're sitting there.

The sleeve may be OK while you travel, but I dare you to take your K3 out of the sleeve and use it on the subway.
I have read of people reading in bed, falling asleep and finding the reader on the floor. Do you want to do that with a naked K3? You may say to yourself it's fine to go naked if I don't do this, that, or the other thing. But there is no way you can be 100% sure you won't do something that will cause your k3 to hit a hard surface.
a coverless eink reader is a really STUPID idea. |
I'm quite happy with the form factor of the Kindle all on its own. I do read it on the subway every day, if I get bumped/shoved it's either going to end up on the floor or the tracks, and if it's in the tracks the case isn't going to do a whole lot of good anyway. I'll keep taking my chances, I acknowledge that it's risky and there's nothing I can do to be certain that I won't drop it, but that's OK with me.
