Yes, it is because I am overseas that I want to have some good pieces of information before buying because returning the merchandise is not really an option, the shipping fees being a deal breaker in my case.

Thanks 6charlong for providing all the detailed info about the different aspects of the M-Edge covers. I have already guessed that the Oberon leather was thick and of good quality and thus would have quite some bulk, or a bulk I don't wish to carry around.

I'm starting to realize that all the accessories, an average priced cover, a light and the shipping fees will most certainly amount to half the cost of the main device, i.e. the e-reader, which from the economics standpoint is quite a non-sense
