If I was only going to use them in the house, I'm not sure if I would bother with a cover.

Davidfor, I believe it is a matter of personal taste and reading habit. I read either sitting down or in bed so the chances of the earead dropping down are very small, and a cover is a good compromise, because I am conversely much more afraid of bumping the reader on some pointed surface (tables' edges, for example). I already lost my first ereader (one of the first Bookeen, more than 10 years ago), due to cracks to the screen substrate.
I find the Kobo furnished Elipsa cover really heavy. Surely a matter of personal tastes and reading habits.
