Flip or Slide?
A little over a week ago I went out shopping with a friend of mine and finally --finally!-- got something I've been wanting for years. This little something is expensive (to me) and thus I had it on my birthday-christmas list for about three years in the hope that my family members might chip in to get it for me, but no go. Now that I'm done school and have a job, albeit part-time, I felt I could splurge for this little beauty as it was on sale.
The store didn't have the colour I wanted, so technically it was ordered through the kiosk. This was lamentable due to the fact that by the time it came in a week or so later, I wasn't nearly as excited about it. In fact, the day before my little lovely arrived my aunt called to ask if I wanted her old Kobo as she just bought a tablet. Yep, my aunt had picked one up about a year ago because it was so "inexpensive" and she wanted to "try one out" --wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of funds? *le sigh* I wish I had known about my aunt doing this prior as I could have put the money I spent towards my Ireland trip, but c'est la vie.
I still love books and still plan to buy them, but only the ones that I want to collect. Such as the series I have already started, or author's that I adore, and the covers that are truly stunning. Other books that have embarrassing covers or new authors I've not yet read or books that are only in eBook or library books can all be on my eReader. In fact, I have put most of the books I have done editing for on my reader already.
So now that I have this technological gorgeousness I need to purchase some protective covering for it, but am unsure which method I prefer: The flip or the slide. So what do y'all think, shall I go for the purple book-style covering or the pink wallet-style?
Do any of y'all have an ereader and how do you like it? Is it better than physical books, on par, or not nearly as likable? How often do you use your ereader? If you don't have an ereader, do you ever intend to get one?

Embarrassing colors, eh? As in romance novels? :p do tell.
@GreekPhysique - Yes, as in romance novels --namely historicals. I really cannot comprehend why so many of the books have ladies with their dresses hiked up being embraced by shirtless gents... It is a bit ridiculous and I wouldn't want to read that on the transpo. What can I say, I embarrass easily.
You already know I have one...Mine has a green envelope looking case. I love it!
But prefer books. Mine was a gift so I don't mind spending money on books for it.
Hmm. What case did you end up with?
I like the Kobo vox...I might look into that. For the next one.
