I read always with readers in some type of cover as it provides additional grip.
As for the latest firmware upgrade I am not sure it is much of an enhancement for me. How about a Kindle reader with a modern 300 DPI screen with the proportions of the old Sony PRS-950 screen.

The cover you dislike will give more protection than no cover. Plus, sleeves are really no good for when you want to take your Reader out of the house. You end up reading with no protection in public.
As to the 950 sized screen, I much prefer the size of the 6.8” screen like that of the H2O. It just seems more natural. I had an iPhone 5 and I like the size of the 6s much better. It,s a matter of correct aspect ratio and the 950 was just off.
