Has anyone noticed a shift since the latest generation of readers came out, particularly the Kobo Libra Color and the Clara Colour?

I might be imagining it, but there seem to be tons of post these days of people showing off decorated readers, or various decorative slip-cases and stickering up their readers and the like, but for this generation it seems to be way more than ever before.

Am I just imagining that?

No judgement by the way - you do you, and more power to you.
