For either one, the Easel format can be used standing up or flat (in which case the folded-over cover leans the screen towards you rather than sideways like in a traditional fold-over jacket) I actually got one for my PRS505 since Sony doesn't offer one in that style. Interestingly the first time I started to appreciate that format was because the slimmer/cheaper cover for my iRex DR1000 uses the same fold-over-the-top style.

On a sidenote, another big improvement in perceived readability is a dark decal I got to cover the nook's white frame, which greatly enhances the impression/illusion of a light screen background. The silver/metal frame of the PRS505 blends well with the light gray of the e-ink screen, so it's not necessary for it. At the time I bought it, the dark version wasn't available but I would have preferred that one, just like my original Sony reader (the screen of which broke: always the same archilles heel of current eInk displays)
