PROS:- Looks even better in person. Like a 100 year old book. For bibliophiles like me, this is a major turn on. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the style and cover art- Comfortable leather feel- Feels sturdy, medium to high quality materials- Can be folded backwards for 1-handed reading- Holds your kindle snugly, won't slip out- Especially good for kindle/kindle touchCONS:- Not recommended for the Paperwhite Kindle ONLY because the INCREDIBLEAmazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Onyx Black (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch)is SOOO much better! I have the persimmon one and love the way my paperwhite looks in it. The quality of that cover is 100x better than this one, it fits better, and automatically turns your Paperwhite on and off when you open the cover. I never thought I'd say this, but that cover really is worth $40.00.- This cover is worth about $20- Although the Verso Prologue is made of highish quality materials, it has a little bit of a cardboard feel. That Paperwhite cover feels unbreakable.- Made in ChinaOVERALL: I love just about everything about this cover, except the price tag (although you'll be hard-pressed to find anything much cheaper), the fact that it's not as good as the official Paperwhite cover, and that it does feel a little bit cheap. It will do exactly what you want it to do though: make your Kindle look sexy and keep it safe from rough tumbles. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you're shopping for a Kindle Touch or Kindle (this cover will NOT fit the Kindle Keyboard).
