Oh, I've used Saddle Soap, Mink Oil, and various things, all work to one extent or another (depending on the type of damage). You're totally right about the splitting thing... which is why I originally asked if it was cool to bend it all the way back... wouldn't want splitting!

I've been folding mine back on itself (very easy to use one-handed that way) for some 7 months. Absolutely no sign at all of splitting.

I always read with my cover folded back, and I must say it's easy to hold the book that way and, as HarryT says, no signs of any adverse reaction to being treated like that.

My cover has even survived cat attacks...

So Harry, now that you have one of the newer Gen3 models.....did it come with one of the Bookeen covers? If so, how does it compare to your original (leather) cover?

It would have looked better if they had used the same inside & out. Personal preference would have been a true brown inside & out. I'm going to find out dying or polishing would help.

Check your local office supply store. Staples has a business card holder that is about the right size (it just fits). I was using velcro to attach it. I was in the process of trying velcro cable ties (glue a set on the cover & to the back of the Cybook) when I managed to drop my first Cybook.
