Leather Case Comparison Review for Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft
Last year I posted a brief review of Amazon’s premium leather cover for the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft, and then later in the year I ended up getting one of the plant-based leather covers too, so I thought I’d post a quick video review comparing the two.
