If anyone knows why the flap on the right site is handy. please let me know. It just feels stupid while reading. I enjoy to put my fingers between the ereader and the cover and the flap is now also there for I guess no reason.

I understand why you feel the flap is an annoyance while reading. I have an original cover for the original H2O, which has no flap.
While my cover is stiff, the spine isn't at all, so there's some travel the cover can do across the face of the device. And the only thing that keeps the cover closed is a fairly weak magnet. Now, the last thing I want to do is to get the screen scratched. When I travel, the device is susceptible to being moved around unattended.
Scratch/damage prevention is the major reason I bought the cover in the first place. So I tend to put a rubber band around the cover for a bit of extra security when I'm on the move with it. Sometimes I think a flap would have been a nice addition for extra security, but yes, it would probably feel like less of a "book experience" when reading with it on.
