FYI on the comments about folding back the M-edge cover:I have been folding mine back since day 1 (8 days ago, it actually arrived on the 24th, earlier than the revised 2/28 date). Initially it wouldn't fold back "flat", but after a few days it now folds flat with no sign of wear or crease. Overall I think it is better than the Sony cover. Mine was a degree or two off which was annoying, but I never felt comfortable about that thingamajig snap on the back being secure. I think the M-Edge approach is much more secure. My only complaint is the strap that you tuck into the cover. I have to fold it back (in between the two covers) to keep it out of the way while reading. Also I think you still need some sort of case to protect the reader for transport. I like the Pouch, but the M-Edge cover (& the Sony leather cover) are too big to slip in the Pouch. The original Vinyl cover works well with the pouch.
I just wish Vaja (
