It comes with a nice plastic cover with leather trim- not cheap looking at all. However the brown leather cover is very well made and would make an excellent addition. The brown one is made of a thick leather with a velvet texture (the other two colors are smooth textured), the inside lined with soft felt. It gives the reader the feel and look of an expensive leather journal and that wonderful leather book aroma- well worth 29.00 IMHO. However you can pick it up at any regular Borders Books (not Borders express though) Make sure you place the reader face down on a rigid flat surface when removing and replacing the cover to avoid breaking the screen!
In addition to the included charger, cover, and connect software cd, the reader comes preloaded with a dozen or so book excerpts (full chapters) and five entire books- Vanguard by David Mack (Star Trek), The Italian's Stolen Bride by Emma Darcy (Harlequin romance), 1984 by George Orwell, Emma by Jane Austen, and Excavation by James Rollins.
Amusingly, one of the excerpts included was Pride and Prejudice. Why couldn't Sony just include the whole book?- Are they really worried about giving away too many classics that you could get for free right here anyway? Needless to say I replaced it straightaway with the full free illustrated version- Thank you HarryT !
