My DH bought me a Kindle for Christmas last year and it's the best gift ever for an avid reader. No more tying up shelf space or looking for new space. No more packing 4 books when I go on vacation. And, the books cost less. After nearly a year, it's my favorite gadget ever and it weighs less than most of the hardcover books I used to lug around.
I love your cover, especially the inside : )

I'm pretty sure I am getting one for Xmas from the kids, and I just ordered one for my niece who is in a nursing home. She is paralyzed on one complete side and she also has to have dialisis three times a week. She is a former teacher and she loves to read and with the Kindle I hope she will be able to do that again. Right now I am racking my brain , trying to think of a way to make a cover that would maybe have some good padding, and some way to maybe slip over her bad hand to give her a little more control over it. Can anyone help me out with suggestions? I need to make her a wheelchair saddlebag again, someone stole the one I made when she had to go into the hospital for a few days, that and the cell phone holder that she could wear around her neck, so need to make another of those too. and I want to make her a lap quilt , but this time I am going to embroidery her name on everything! In BIG letters!!

I haven't broken down and gotten a Kindle yet. There is something about having a book in my hand and curled up under a quilt and reading. I love your cover though. I make covers with built-in book marks for my books........some day I'll come out of my cave and join the kindle users. haha

I have had my kindle for a while now and LOVE it. I also read on my phone with the kindle app when i am waiting in places. I love the embroidery on the inside, would you mind telling me where you found it? I haven't made a cover yet for mine but yours makes me want to sit down and make one. Like I have time this week to sew....
