It's no harder to hold with the cover than the Paperwhite was IMO. The physical buttons are a big plus for me. My first ereader was a Sony 505 about a year before the first Kindle was released and this feels the closest to it of any.
I don't mind shorter battery life terribly. If I have to charge it a couple of times per week it's a non-issue to me. My main concern was if it would make it through a long day of reading and this one will last multiple days.
