Jon: You are far to black-and-white, and assume your own experiences match everyone elses.

Now, I should have said "might make it to heavy". And that is from an experience in another forum with someone who had very weak hands. Adding the cover to the Aura H2O meant that she probably couldn't hold it up for more the 15 minutes at a time. The original Kindle Oasis was a godsend as she could easily take it out of cover when reading and easily hold if for long periods of times.

The other part was my personal experience. I don't find the cover improves the grip over the bare Aura H2O. And because it makes it bulkier, and heavier, it actually makes it worse for me personally to hold for any period time. For my other ereaders, I'm pretty neutral on how the cover affects the reading comfort. But, if the Aura ONE wasn't leaving the house, I would probably take it out of the cover.
