This is just what I wanted to do ,so I search youtube to find good how to and what to/not to do guides. Thank you for this. Although it did feel kinda wrong to cut up the book once I bought it even at 30p from a charity shop, I'm now looking for a cheap journal that I can cut up with no guilty twinges.

You are so funny and cute. I was looking to make a cover for the Nook Tablet I got for Christmas. I didn't want to buy one because I am crafty and wanted to make my own. Thanks for the information!

June! You are saving me tons of money ALSO while being extremely creative!! I recently helped my aunt download books on her E-reader and she wants a cover for it. What an amazing surprise for her since she was so reluctant to switching to an electronic book. She misses her hardcovers and paperbacks!!
Love it! Plan to make one this weekend. Thank you!

Brilliant idea!
But more than the reader falling out, I would be worried about it getting stuck, or at least that it would take some coaxing. So I thought I might put a ribbon in the hole before putting the kindle in so that I have something to jank it out with...if done well it might just look like a bookmark. Have you had issues getting the reader back out?

@stuckintherut Actually, in the WonderHowTo tutorial, the instructor does exactly that - glues a ribbon into the middle seam of the book and lets it lay behind the Kindle for easy removal. I found that because of the size of the hole, I don't have any problem having my Kindle stay in the book when I want it to, or pop out easily when I need it to (I usually just turn it upside down!). A great suggestion thought - and a ribbon would be another way to personalize it!

I'm seriously considering buying a nook or a kindle. I can't make up my mind. How do you like your kindle? Will you make up my mind for me and tell me which one to buy? Kthanx.

@liliedaisy Oh dear, I can't imagine telling you which to buy - but I can tell you that I'm totally in love with my Kindle - it isn't even the latest generation and I wouldn't trade it for anything ever. I would highly encourage you to get one especially because they're on sale right now! But I mean, you could try out the Nook at any B&N to see how you like it too - my best friend has one of those and says she loves it. I can't imagine anything but my Kindle, though. It is my love.
