CRAFTY KINDLE COVER

One of the common complaints I hear about e-readers is that they lack the sensory experience an actual book gives. I would have to agree. There's something special about  holding a book open, turning the pages, and breathing in the scent of ink on paper.

After reading a few novels while holding just the Kindle, I knew I needed to do something to mimic that tactile experience. I checked out the cost of Kindle covers and found them to be outrageously expensive. Then I saw pictures of covers people had created and knew that was my answer.

I chose a hardcover book from a used bookstore, cut out the pages, clued on some felt-backed material and ribbon and voila! I've got a fun cover, and for far cheaper than anything I could buy ready made.

I'm not a crafty person. At all. So if I can create this, so can you.

Anyone else have clever ideas for Kindle covers?
