Is the cover lightweight like a paper back book?

It's not thin like a paperback book, it's a thick hard cover with a leather like material on it.

Yes, it is, but like another post stated, you do have to hold it and move it down the page and your arm may get tired. I use it for reading papers, etc. with very small print. It is the best one I've ever had for that.

I don't consider it lightweight. Built solidly. I know this is a subjective answer but it isn't flimsy, if that's your concern.

The coating on the cover seems to be colored paper. The cover is about 1/8" thick paper or cardboard.

I believe that this is a hard cover book. Mine is and it looks just like this one.

It is soft and does not have a backing. The cover is basically a rectangular piece of leather with the rings attached to the middle to hold the paper.

Yes, it's pretty easy...you just need to open the cover as if you were opening a book, or if you want to 'fold' it over and have the front cover flattened underneath if you were texting on your lap or a tabletop, that is also doable.

That sounds about right. It is not a thick, heavy book. Each week is spread before you on two pages and there is space at the very back to keep notes. I have been using this style for about 25 years and it works really well for me because I can view one week at a glance.

Well, REASONABLY flat, but it is still a bound book, so it will not behave like an 17" x 11" sheet of paper when open -- there is still a crease down the center at the binding and especially at the front and back, the pages will lay at different levels because they have different numbers of pages upon which they rest. The pages are attached to the binding in groups of 17"x11" pages folded in half, and the lining to which they are actually attached has extra material to allow the cover to lay flat while the pages themselves are turned. Hopefully, that makes sense.

It's not really a "cover." What you're seeing is actually what letters/packages would sit on to be weighed.

The cover is just clear. Dont know about the weight, they might have put it down as the whole weight of the package.

I have three of these, and they are sturdy. The back seems to be decoration more than anything. It is lightweight. It doesn't seem to add to the structure. What you see of it behind the books looks nice and so far, it has held up beautifully.

No, they are flat pages, just like a book or loose leaf binder. Very good quality in the cover and the plastic pages.

Yes, the cover is like a heavy felt...it gives them something to grip. The color is a dark brown, it's very pretty.

Yes it foldes back so you can read it's a really nice cover you will like it!

I'm not sure - the covering seems like thin leather (or something similar) - it is stitched to a cloth backing - with some firm structure in between - it is quite comfortable to my hands when I'm reading.

In my opinion, yes it is. The cover doesn't add much weight or surface area so it isn't cumbersome to hold it. I prefer holding with 2 hands at times so I can tap the kindle more easily, but you can hold it in one hand with the cover on as well.
