The Verso Prologue Cover for Amazon Kindle has changed my mind about using a cover. I have used this cover for nearly three months now.

What I do not traditionally like about using a cover with the kindle is that it usually doubles (or more) the weight and it does not fold back well so that it it is uncomfortable to hold one handed.

However, the Verso Prologue is amazingly light.  It looks like it should be a fairly heavy leather cover.  But it is not.  The inside of the cover has to be some type of hard foam.  It will flex slightly, but it withstands a good bit of abuse.

I do not now own a Kindle Paperwhite.  But twice in the last two months I have helped a friend replace a broken kindle with a new Paperwhite.  That has given me several weeks to play with the Paperwhite and try out the covers.

The official Amazon Paperwhite Leather cover is a totally different type of cover from the covers that Amazon made for the first three generations of Kindle.  Instead of the elastic corners of the first two generations and the prongs of the third generation, this cover uses a rubberized plastic that is form fitted to the size of the kindle.  (In the picture to the side the outer line around the kindle is the rubberized plastic holder.)
