Does the keyboard fold back easily for reading ebooks?

Yes, We have enjoyed it. It makes reading easy and is great for normal typing messages.

It is. I use the keyboard only about half the time. It folds behind easily with the keyboard still attached, or unattached.

Yes, I do that frequently when I'm reading a book. The keyboard is easily removed as it is held in place magnetically.

The Kindle slides securely into its "case" within the case. The keyboard magnetically stays in place in the case. When closing the case, the Kindle lays right on top of the keyboard and it bascially folds shut. The Kindle Fire HD and the keyboard are roughly the same size. The keyboard is just slightly longer - but not by much at all. Both the keyboard and the Kindle are secure.

Thin hardbacks, paperbacks, epads--yes, but sunk into the zippered shallow compartment, not as easy to turn pages; easier if you barely insert book into compartment or set it atop zipper; Michener's thick & heavy books would probably have to rest atop close-zippered compartment for sure, but likely doable. Reminder to my earlier comment: lap pro needs another 6" pillow under it to lift book to my visual needs. My advice is not speculative, but experience w/lap pro which reading in easy chair/sofa is definitely better WITH it, than without.

No it wont, but it's not necessary. When you hold the kindle with the cover folded backwards it doesn't bother.

It doesn't fold behind the mini like the soft cover does. However, if you flip it, as Collin said, the magnet will grab and they hold nicely together. You don't have to put the keyboard aside, which would be inconvenient when not at a desk

Yes it is, the keyboard is detachable, via magnetic contacts. When not using it it folds back nicely. Ill be honest though I got more frustration than actual use from it. Great idea, maybe just needs to be refined a bit technologically. It woukd skip letters sometimes and it became annoying.

Not at all. The only set back is the sides of the screen are kinda hard to get to with the raised sides. Sometimes I have to put them out of the way to get to the Q and P keys on the vertical keyboard. But over all it is easily worth the price.

Yes. It essentially fold down on a pivot point. It in turn looks like a netbook or laptop. The screen is completely covered by the keyboard when closed.

Maybe. The adjustable back support can lower almost to horizontal. The 1-½ inch deep ledge that supports books on the bottom does fold down, although it folds onto the back support, so that a block of wood 1-½ inch by ½ inch at the bottom of the back support could be a slight hindrance to writing. I hope you can understand this. I could show you more clearly with a drawing.

Yes. They stow into the back of the keyboard at the top. They fold outward. There are only 2 settings: fully-extended or stowed. No intermediate adjustments. Fine by me.Nice & stable but fairly thin. If the keyboard were dropped any appreciable distance with the legs extended, they're probably toast. Love the keyboard overall but have yet to find the "caps-lock on" indicator light..........

Yes the flap does fold back, and no it does not interfere at all with typing ability. This is a really nice case at a fabulous price.

Yes. I fold the front back flat against the backside of the cover when I am using my iPad.

Yes it opens like a book. Having the extra piece also give you a comfortable place to rest your hands while using the keyboard.

Yes. Folds very smoothly. The piece connecting front and back is very pliable. The reader is just a little thick for the case. Stills closes okay with magnetic closure.

Hi Bobby,My husband said that it is easy once you get the binding worn in a bit. Then you just fold the front behind and text like normal.=)
