I know this problem...

I use the cover most of the time when I am reading fiction because I find it also more comfortable to handle. But I removing it from the case when reading some PDF in landscape mode. Don't ask me why but I feel more comfortable this way... I think it comes from the way I handle the Cybook regarding the position of the main button and a clearer view of documents without margins.
