Joques asked if the leather spines on either the official Kobo Sleepcover or the commonly-sold eBay cover were strong enough to hold in a normal two-handed hardcover-book reading fashion.
I'd say, just barely -- they're both a bit flimsy for that. Unlike a real book spine, the leather hinges don't run the full height of the spine, and so on both covers (and perhaps slightly more on the eBay one) you'll be tending to push the lower innermost corner of the opened front cover in so that it knocks against the lower-left corner of the plastic interior clamping that holds the actual ereader in place.
