Review: Good but not perfect

I love the way my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 snaps into the case.  You have to be careful how you put it in or the start button won't work.  But once it is in correctly it works.  I also like the way the Kindle instantly wakes up when you open the cover.  But here is what I don't like about it.  Two other people in the household have iPads - one regular and one mini - and we all read the newspapers together at the table.  Their covers bend in half in the back allowing a much better reading angle.  This Kindle cover does not and if you try to slant it more by opening the cover wider, it not only takes up too much room but it also keeps slipping.  I have to put something under it to try to get it to the right angle.  I see now that Amazon does have other covers for the 8.9 (Belkin in particular) that do this.  I guess I will have to buy another one.
