This is what I have. It sounds like what you have for your Sony. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 01/02/2010 09:39:02 PM
If I remember right, though, it was pretty bulky, and wasn't attached to the kindle. It was just strapped in. . .or something, and not very well. I was worried that if I dropped it, the kindle would fall out on the way down. Anyway, you're right, it felt nice. It felt like reading a big, luxurious hardcover book or something. My Sony, on the other hand, has an attached cover, which is easy to hold book-style in two hands, or with the front part of the cover folded back, in one hand. It feels more like a light, comfortable paperback, which is what I'd prefer for day-to-day reading.


It's quite thin. It has hooks that secure the Kindle. Like your cover, you can hold it in two hands or folded back on itself.

Amazon Accepts Macmillan’s Demand for Higher E-Book Prices mapthis - 01/02/2010 04:21:35 PM 1326 Views
Amazon lost me as a customer over all this *NM* kcf - 01/02/2010 05:52:53 PM 382 Views
Why's that? Aemon - 01/02/2010 06:55:35 PM 939 Views
I sum it up here kcf - 01/02/2010 08:42:02 PM 1201 Views
That's an interesting point. And I have an opposite reaction. The Shrike - 01/02/2010 08:56:16 PM 786 Views
I like that they are public - I dislike that they affect the public so directly kcf - 01/02/2010 08:59:41 PM 955 Views
To each his own. I come away with the opposite reaction and like Amazon even more. The Shrike - 01/02/2010 09:35:10 PM 698 Views
I agree with you. I like what Amazon did. everynametaken - 02/02/2010 12:45:10 AM 835 Views
I think his complaint is that he feels Amazon is using public opinion to pressure suppliers. Aemon - 01/02/2010 09:04:16 PM 685 Views
thats a big part of it kcf - 01/02/2010 09:09:15 PM 1050 Views
It's a good tactic. I would have done the same thing. *NM* The Shrike - 01/02/2010 09:36:31 PM 375 Views
Is it though - Amazon's stock is way down today. Seems the tactic failed *NM* kcf - 01/02/2010 09:53:06 PM 360 Views
Apple stocks have gone down on days after major announcements too. The Shrike - 01/02/2010 10:04:04 PM 659 Views
agreed - short term doesn't mean much *NM* kcf - 01/02/2010 10:08:01 PM 352 Views
Still, your overall point stands. The Shrike - 01/02/2010 11:10:25 PM 675 Views
yep - apparently they read the move as a sign of weakness *NM* kcf - 01/02/2010 11:20:04 PM 403 Views
Macmillan will lose out when people like myself choose to find the book elsewhere. The Shrike - 01/02/2010 06:46:10 PM 674 Views
How easy is it to find books now? Rebekah - 01/02/2010 06:53:43 PM 626 Views
Pretty easily, actually. The Shrike - 01/02/2010 07:07:11 PM 1052 Views
That's excellent. Rebekah - 01/02/2010 08:19:55 PM 842 Views
Screens are good. Aemon - 01/02/2010 08:50:08 PM 887 Views
Two words: Leather cover. The Shrike - 01/02/2010 08:54:37 PM 731 Views
True, I do remember liking the cover. It's much nicer than what comes with the Sony. Aemon - 01/02/2010 09:02:56 PM 906 Views
This is what I have. It sounds like what you have for your Sony. The Shrike - 01/02/2010 09:39:02 PM 933 Views
Unless you like a lot of old books, or have fairly eclectic tastes, you should be all set. Aemon - 01/02/2010 07:11:30 PM 1079 Views
If you do like a lot of old books ranagrande - 01/02/2010 07:16:20 PM 714 Views
Yep, definitely true. I wasn't thinking quite that old, though. Aemon - 01/02/2010 07:24:49 PM 821 Views
$12.99 to $14.99 for a fiction ebook is ridiculous. *NM* everynametaken - 01/02/2010 07:44:20 PM 422 Views
Agreed. *NM* Legolas - 01/02/2010 07:46:33 PM 331 Views
Then again, it's half the price of a print version, for essentially the same product / experience. Aemon - 01/02/2010 07:50:29 PM 661 Views
That's the thing, it's not. Legolas - 01/02/2010 08:24:08 PM 687 Views
Re: That's the thing, it's not. Aemon - 01/02/2010 08:55:35 PM 895 Views
Because, as Aemon says, that's how price discrimination works. Ghavrel - 01/02/2010 11:31:14 PM 643 Views
Not really. I buy new hardcover releases at Borders for around 18 to 20. everynametaken - 02/02/2010 12:34:08 AM 825 Views
I don't know about that. Rebekah - 01/02/2010 08:21:05 PM 714 Views
not really, i buy brand new paperbacks for 6.99 *NM* Apsalar Shadowdancer - 02/02/2010 12:21:16 AM 318 Views
Mass markets, yeah. nossy - 02/02/2010 12:19:25 PM 683 Views
That is bananas. Elaine - 01/02/2010 07:46:28 PM 680 Views
"Most newly released..." Aemon - 01/02/2010 07:55:19 PM 904 Views
People pay that sort of money for DVd and more for Blue Ray random thoughts - 01/02/2010 08:00:47 PM 702 Views
Physical copy is rather important in that case, you know... at least to me. jh - 01/02/2010 08:54:05 PM 850 Views
I was with you till that last sentence. Aemon - 01/02/2010 08:58:58 PM 920 Views
I really don't think it is that different random thoughts - 01/02/2010 10:01:20 PM 698 Views
If you have issues with eBook pricing, read this link kcf - 01/02/2010 08:46:47 PM 1036 Views
He makes good points... Ghavrel - 01/02/2010 11:37:22 PM 689 Views
I am unimpressed by his arguments. everynametaken - 02/02/2010 01:06:03 AM 707 Views
Good for MacMillan. I'll cheer on anyone who takes a stab against e-books. lord-of-shadow - 02/02/2010 04:00:05 AM 770 Views
Whaaa? Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 04:08:50 AM 724 Views
Yes, of course. lord-of-shadow - 02/02/2010 04:33:13 AM 816 Views
In ten years you'll have an ebook reader. Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 05:34:57 AM 839 Views
I know. That's the problem. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 02/02/2010 12:56:32 PM 356 Views
Oh, hush. Go sit in the corner and listen to your 8-track while the rest of us enjoy The Future. *NM* Aemon - 02/02/2010 02:37:33 PM 328 Views
The lower prices, the increased profit, or the ecological benefit? *NM* Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 05:17:13 PM 301 Views
The gradual loss of physical books. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 02/02/2010 05:32:39 PM 308 Views
Mmm. I detect an illogical argument. Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 05:35:14 PM 624 Views
Obviously they won't disappear completely, or even that fast. lord-of-shadow - 02/02/2010 11:04:47 PM 676 Views
Why not? It'll spur the growth of used book stores. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/02/2010 01:29:56 AM 295 Views
It will increase the number of books available random thoughts - 02/02/2010 01:55:05 PM 837 Views
One apt analogy is the widespread use of recording tools like Pro Tools. everynametaken - 02/02/2010 08:07:22 PM 819 Views
There are already comapnies offering editng services random thoughts - 02/02/2010 10:30:28 PM 646 Views
Uh, so what you want to dictate is the medium by which people read? You have no right. everynametaken - 02/02/2010 08:01:09 PM 779 Views
And again let me add that it's not necessarily one or the other. Ghavrel - 02/02/2010 10:09:20 PM 618 Views
That would be awesome. lord-of-shadow - 02/02/2010 11:02:42 PM 613 Views
Obviously I'm not dictating anything. I'm stating my view. lord-of-shadow - 02/02/2010 11:01:41 PM 899 Views
Good Lord! *NM* everynametaken - 02/02/2010 07:58:03 PM 303 Views
