I have to disagree with some of the points made.
Reading is one of the safest activities
Yes reading is safe, but you are done reading for now and you put your reader down near where you are reading and it may not be your normal place you keep your reader. Someone could put something on it not noticing. You could be reading in bed and fall asleep while reading. So you close the cover and go to put it on the night table and miss and it lands on the floor.
Case covers are annoyingly expensive
They can be expensive, but they don't have to be.
A dedicated cover can serve only one e-reader model
And so? It's the same thing for your phone in most cases.
There are not enough dedicated covers for most e-reader models
You only need one cover that you like your Reader.
No cover will make an e-reader feel like a print book
pBooks these days no longer feel the same. MMPBs are a dying breed and the awful trade paperbacks are taking over.
A cover doesn’t increase the comfort of reading
I do find a cover can make the Reader nicer to hold.
There are alternatives that can solve similar problems
I cannot stand sleeves.
I cannot stand hand straps.
A stand won't work were I read most of the time.
A pillow stand will just get in the way and make reading less comfortable.
A case cover is a limitation
Nope.
