I really miss page turn buttons on the Kindle PW and am thinking of buying a Kobo Libra 2 via Black Friday deal, if there is one. I have 2 questions.

Returns: Given all the individual variation regarding which reader is "good" and which is "bad" (the chocolate vs vanilla debate), I'm reluctant to fully commit to such an expensive purchase without first handling the device or without having a robust return policy. Kobo USA offers free shipping, a 30 day return policy, and says that they provide a prepaid return shipping label. Sounds great. However, the "fine print" references a "restocking fee." Does anyone know exactly how much this fee is, if it is applied to all returned devices or only ones that are damaged, etc.? Are Kobo returns pretty seamless?

Flip Case: An important feature to me, likely more important than page turn buttons, is having a so-called "flip case" i.e. a case that opens vertically rather than horizontally so that the reader can stand on a surface without being held. Amazon of course has many variations on this theme for Kindle, but I'm not coming up with much for the Libra 2. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place(s). Does anyone know a USA source for Libra 2 flip cases?

Thanks for the help!
