This is typical, but it still seems to me like a ridiculous percentage of the price of the device. It might be a while before aftermarket covers catch up, though. IF I got one, I suspect I'd live with it coverless, as I'd only use it at home.
I have to admit it's tempting. Not so much for the front light (I'm not a convert yet to the need), but for the increased contrast. The text on my 950 is good enough, but it's still gray on gray. However, I've fortunately acknowledged that it would be foolhardy to jump on this, absent a sudden death in my Sony family. I can wait on reports and developments by the competition.
I have mixed feelings about Kobo. Since most of my purchases come from them, it would be handy to have a dedicated device, but the perennial bugginess is a turnoff. That said, I am so very glad they decided to go in for the smaller/bigger market. To me, 6" was exactly the wrong size. Too big for my purse, too small for at home. For a while there, I thought they'd be burying me with my 350 and 950; now I'm not nearly so anxious.
