Hi pilotbob,

Thanks for your input. One of the things I find really valuable about message boards is getting to read everyone's opinions, and I have to say that in general, I've found this message board to be a huge asset when trying to make this choice!

I do have small hands (and awfully stubby fingers *lol*), and it did occur to me last night that that might be part of the problem.

I'm going to give reading sans the cover another whirl tonight. In all honesty, I tend to be hard on my gadgets (my poor video iPod is covered with scratches, as is the screen of my Razr, despite keeping both in protective cases). I was hoping to be able to read with it in the cover, since that affords a little more protection...and I was slightly nervous about the Kindle being white, so I also thought reading it in the cover might keep it cleaner longer.

I'm going to try folks' suggestions on how to hold it tonight...I'll experiment more, and see if I can get comfy with it. I want to really give the Kindle a fair chance, you know?
