I agree with all concerns and preferences. Its a personal choice. Just wanted to share my experience. I felt really good that way. When I'm done with reading, I put it back into the cover. I usually am very careful with my electronics. I don't usually even place my PDA mobile phone on the desk, without placing at least a paper napkin under it (believe me). I'm very scratch conscious person. That said, I still felt better holding the reader in hand without cover. Of course there is risk of dropping etc, and we need to be careful anyways.

Server - I agree, the contrast issues, which I hear a lot about in PRS700, had never been a big issue to me. Florescent, day-light, even in darker light, I could read a lot of times without switching on the front LED lights. Its definitely dull, but not as big an issue. May be if anyone is used to the PRS-505 or any other device, it is tough for them to digest. This is my first ebook reader and I love it.
