Are there more strange persons who feel this way about the new backs  . |
Yes definitely (me). I loved the feel of the back of the Touch (velvety diamond shapes) and really had to get used to the Glo (which funnily enough also has velvety diamond shapes... but just completely different ones both to touch and to the eye). I have no idea what the newer Koboes feel like but I don't like the sound of 'rubbery' at all! That would irritate me/my fingers too (possibly even literally as I'm allergic to rubber!). That's a big shame because I am/was planning on upgrading to something with a ComfortLight Pro and hoping for the Clara HD to be perfect for me...
So yes, meeera, hardware should disappear while reading its content, but for me that means the hardware needs to be comfortable to hold (and preferably pretty enough for me to be extra happy, even though I know that's just silly).
I agree on the cover = too heavy thing too.
