I like the funtionality of this cover, the fact that it turns my Kindle on and off when I open & close it.  It works fine, and it seems pretty durable.  But after using it for about 6 months, I'm no more comfortable with it than I was when it was new.  The fabric on the back is ok, but doesn't have the nice comfortable "flannel feel" my first Kindle cover had.  The worst feature, however, is the little silver "Kindle" bar on the right edge of the front cover.  When I flip it open and fold it back to hold the Kindle, this piece of metal hits exactly where my finger need to go to get the right balance to hold the Kindle with one hand.  The metal edge digs into my finger, and it's uncomfortable.  I read A LOT, and this bugs me all the time, so I'm always looking for a way to lean the Kindle against my leg or a pillow so I don't have to hold it.  It's like they designed this cover and never had anyone actually sit & read with it for more than a minute.  The metal closer could have gone up toward the top, just not right in the middle where your hand needs to be.For a comfortable reading experience, I wouldn't recommend this cover.
