Kindle Cover Pics!



I finally got the pictures to post. This is my new kindle cover. I made four more for friends. I will post them in a separate post. Notice the clear plastic pocket leaving the keyboard accessible. It also protects the keys. I was starting to rub the letters off.

Kindle Cover



I got a Kindle 3G for christmas. I love it. I would never have imagined I would like it. I am a book person. I like books, but I do like my Kindle. It makes sense for someone who reads as much as I do.

How much do I read? The battery is supposed to last a month. I got it Thursday, fully charged the battery, and by Saturday morning it had to be charged again. I've been reading books from the Public Domain. I reread the first two Tarzan books, The Art of War, Letters from a Woman Homesteader, and others. I now have a copy of one of my favorite books. I have been looking for Freckles by Gene Stratton Porter for years. Now I have it for free.

While reading my emails I came across a link for a pattern to make a kindle cover. I found the perfect fabric at Joann on clearance. I finished it last night. As soon as I can find my camera I will post pictures. Follow this link if you want to make one of your own. http://www.chicaandjo.com/2009/09/03/make-a-custom-kindle-cover-case/. Thank you Chica and Jo for the pattern.
