Oh! I forgot to mention that the inside has the softest suede that you have ever put your hands on.
Ooh, I'd have to agree with that! It certainly fits the criterion in the OP for a cover "that has a good feel while reading". Both Cole Haans have the same goat suede lining which feels like a baby's skin!
The main difference between the two other than the exterior leather is that the woven one has a rigid insert in the cover, and the pebbled is flexible, like a heavyweight leather jacket.
I have the pebbled, which I love. I bought and returned the bronze weave. I think I got a defective one, since the rigid insert seemed warped and the cover would not lie flat. The woven exterior did seem a little rough, but I think that was because of the metallic finish making the leather a little stiff. I believe the dark brown probably has a softer feel since it isn't treated (painted?).

I searched about the woven Cole Haan cover and it is loved more than not. If I order it, then the pebble cover will probably become available right after it's too late to return.
If that does happen, you could always sell it on eBay (or here). At least the chocolate weave is still available. I'm thinking the pebbled one has been out of stock so long, maybe it was a one time thing, available only for the initial release of K2. I could be wrong though..
