Shiny color screen = more value than eink. But I am really not sure how many bag snatchers are really scoping out targets based on what is in the bag.

Most individual item theft happens because someone thinks Starbucks is a safe place to leave all their stuff at the table while they take a bathroom break.

Having said that, I take my reader everywhere. I carry a Timbuk2 business messenger bag, and in my walks to and from the courthouse and domestic violence center, I secure the bike strap across my chest to make by bag snatch proof.
My other addiction other than kindles are bags. I love Timbuk 2! Which messenger bag and size do you use if you don’t mind sharing! I didn’t see the business messenger bag.
