Accessories Nice, the Amazon Stock cover - Page 2

The cover looks nice, but do you have any trouble holding it? I like the covers with a little extra material on the side where I can place my thumb. I have a K1 so maybe it's not such a big deal with K2 since the page turning buttons are smaller?

Well, you all convinced me, and I am very happy with it. I ordered the M- edge easel and Spike light, because I thought I would like to prop it up when I am at a table, or tuck my hand between the front and back cover when I am on a long line. It still isn't here, even though I ordered on pre-order Kindle2 Day. I saw these reviews, opted tor $3.99 shipping so it would be here for the weekend.
Very comfortable and secure, if only it came with a built in light.
I am afraid I won't be switching out between the two covers, because I don't think the hinges on the Amazon cover can take it.

It's less of a big deal, since the K2 buttons *are further in* and rock inwards rather than outwards. I too use my K1 in a cover - but I find I like the K2 better naked. (gasp!) I have a cover for protection, but I pull it out for long reading sessions.

Just got my kindle and now my basic amazon kindle cover and I really like it. Makes reading the kindle feel more like a book and nicely folds back when I want to hold it one handed. The metal hinges to hold the thing in place is very sturdy it seems. For the price it is nice.

Agree with posts above. A nice cover and the hinge is very handy so it doesn't fall out. Many of the more expensive covers seem to have four corner straps which can get in the way. The clip on lights hook well onto the cover - not so well onto the Kindle itself. It carries like a book, comfortable in hand and suits me just fine. Glad I didn't spend >$100 on some of the fancier models.
