A sleep cover is more then just for protection. It makes it very easy to put the 2e to sleep and wake it up. Plus, a cover makes it nicer to hold.

I don't know about nicer to hold. But I do value the sleep/wake feature.

I find my H2O & Libra 2 nicer to hold with the case then without. Same with the PW3, nook STR, and the various Sony Readers I've had.

I agree with my Libra2 but I find really comfortable to hold the Nia with one hand. It is so light and slim without a case. My little one drops it all the time and it doesn't break or scratch. I am planning to get a Clara2E and I hope is the same with a Libra2 quality screen.

With a good case, you don;t need to hold your Nia with two hands.. I hold my Libra 2 with one hand most times.

I wish I could stuff the Clara 2E into the Nook Glowlight 4 body. This page turn buttons would make it easier to hold in one hand and turn pages. The way I hold my readers, I have to use my other hand to turn the page, except on the Nook ST with page turn buttons.

I've not had an issue holding my H2O with one hand and not having buttons was not an issue at all. If the 2e was stuffed into a nook body, it would tank big time.

If I have to have buttons, I like the Libra 2 buttons as they don't get in the way like they would if they were in the middle and not the edge.

I don't like the buttons and the bezel is too wide all around the screen. Plus it's not as nice to hold as the Libra 2. It's got a feel that's not nice.

On the Libra 2, that is disappointing I thought it was supposed to be more of an ergonomic type model?

So you have personally gone out and touched a Glowlight 4, right? Seen one in person as opposed to online?

And who cares how it feels if you're slapping it in a case

The Libra 2 is nice to hold. But Readers are better with a case then without.
