You don't need a book cover, but I would recommend one, I purchased the one I have because I'm a "butter-fingered" person and will own up to already dropping this beloved object. I don't know if it would have survived without the cover, plus I like to drop it in my over-sized purse and who knows what kind of sharp objects lie at the bottom of that thing :P
The cover I bought in brown
Amazon.com: Kindle Lighted Leather Cover, Black (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle): Electronics
It makes it a little bulkier, but again if you have a tendency to drop expensive electronics I will definitely recommend it

I've been known to drop things a time or two. And who knows what lives at the bottom of my purse. I really like this cover. Do you like the brown color? It would be between the brown or the black for me.
