I think you will enjoy your Kindle. The buttons require a little getting used to but are manageable. You've gotten some very useful advice from the other posters.

I added some Velcro(tm) to the two longer back edges with matching strips on the inside of the standard case. I used the stick on kind you can get for sewing projects. My local drugstore had some. This keeps the Kindle secure in the case. The tape gives some standoff from the case so it's easier to reach the back switches (we leave the Whispernet switch off unless downloading). We leave the Kindle in sleep mode all the time when it's not being used.

I also added a little sticky backed "lump"-the kind sold to put on the bottom of vases-eo the inside of the front cover. It's placed so that it provides a spacer that prevents the cover from pressing on the scroll switch when closed.

If you fold the cover around behind the Kindle and secure it with the elastic you can use the larger left edge to hold while reading- easier to prevent unwanted button pressing.
