I've found that with the white/transparent silicone cover, the text on the screen looks especially crisp and clear.

Waterstone's been having a 505 cover sale, and since I've been thinking of getting a 600 - and in that case might relegate the 505 to 'kitchen duty' for recipes - I thought a silicone cover might be a good investment.

I just got today, and somewhat to my surprise, it's a very nice cover overall - it really doesn't look as nice on photos as it feels to hold. It has a nice feel, and gives the Reader a good grip.

It's "white-transparent" rather than white, and this is the interesting part, since, while you can still see the buttons through the skin, it blurs all contrasts on the Reader - button edges, printed text, edges in general - and the text on the screen looks especially crisp and clear in comparison with this. I can follow the idea that a dark-coloured edge might give a greater, perceived, contrast, but I hadn't imagined the silicone cover would do as well, in its own way.
