I am going to post a link for a tutorial for a really cute iPad case that I found... she mentions that with changes to the size, you can make this for a Kindle. I would like to make one for my sister for Christmas, but I don't have a Kindle. Can anyone here that does have one provide me with the measurements? Thanks!!

I bet someone in your quilting groups or church has one and would let you measure it. Then you could make your own pattern and baste it together to try it for fit.

At guild last week we had a show of hands who had a Kindle, Nook, or other E reader and every member raised their hands! The older members loved them because they could change the type large enough to see to read. We are having a workshop to make the reader covers.
