The reader has two magnets, near the top and bottom corners on the bezel that has the buttons.
The sleep cover magnet sensor is below the eink screen just at the centre of the edge of the large bezel.
€40 approx inc. VAT seems excessive for a cover. That's into the territory for a keybord cover and not much less than for or a Surface 3 or an iPad cover (which are excessively priced).
So I may try making a reversible sleeve with one side cut out, metal on corners on both sides to lock and an embedded magnet on the solid side to sleep the unit. The rear power button is so far the most annoying feature.
It's comfortable to hold reading for 4 hours in left or right hand with the button order reversed so that the thumb easily selects the next page.
I've also discovered that a landscape content double page book scan stored in a portrait PDF works perfectly in landscape mode as the reader automatically splits the PDF pages in two with page next giving the next half of the page. This also means twice size text. Unfortunately this doesn't help scans of old magazines, they still need 10" to 12" screens.
