The case for a case

The Kindle (my previous purse device) I just let hang out without a case because my purses don't really have room for extra bulk. I always tried to keep it in its own pocket, and it never got a scratch on it.

I just like the way a naked ereader feels in the hand.

I wish there was an e-reader with a cover like the Handspring Visor. When you want to use the e-reader you take the cover off of the front and put it on the back (it snaps in place). When you are finished using the e-reader you remove the cover from the back and snap it on the front. Offers perfect protection that is very light and takes up little extra space.

Last year I mostly read on my Oasis 2 or 3 because of the larger screen, but they can be quite cold to hold without a cover because of the metal back.

Lately I've been reading books without images and have been using my Voyage. I had forgotten just how nice reading on a bare Voyage is.

There was, the Pocketbook 360, the most ergonomic non-touchscreen reader ever.

Is that a Windows CD PDA?

No, it was a classic linux e-ink ebook reader.

But I do have a Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 linux PDA with a mini-notebook form factor whose 640x480 LCD swiveled 180 degrees and closed over the keyboard so as to have a (somewhat fat) PDA form factor. The hardware was mostly an improvement over the previous 320x240 Zaurus SL-5500, but its software didn't take advantage of the higher resolution and it never lived up to its promise. Someone even wrote a VNC server and client for the SL-5500, which was great. The server exported a facsimile of the display, keyboard, and buttons, which all worked. I never read any books on either one.
