Do YOu own a Nook Color, a PRS-950, and a Oberon Cover??
I have a question for all you owners of multiple ereaders... I own a Sony PRS-950 and there are NO options out there for covers. When I looked at the size comparison for other brand ereaders the Nook Color is really, really close. Does anyone own both of these devices AND an Oberon cover for their Nook Color? Will the Sony PRS-950 fit in it???

If you look in the Sony sub-forum you'll find that folks have used a Kindle 2 Oberon cover and a NOOKcolor Oberon cover with success. The official word from Oberon is to use the Kindle 2 cover.

I have a Nook Color and a 950 and can use the NC case that came with my reader with the 950 mostly. If it didn't use plastic things to hold the NC, it would be perfect. Alas, it is not an Oberon cover though. The NC and 950 are REALLY close to the same size. I was surprised when I came home with the NC and sized them up against each other. I mean, I know they are both 7 inch devices, but I didn't think they would be so close to the same size.

Also be aware that an Oberon cover for the original Nook WiFi will fit the 950. It is actually a quite good fit, though a tiny bit snug (not bad) getting the device in and out. The straps fall in nice places for use. However, there is a little less leather edge to break falls, should you drop the device and have it land on an edge. So I bought a K2 cover for mine, since I was still using the Nook.
