Thanks for the tutorial!
Nighto, nicely done! I don't speak Portuguese, so I watched with the sound off. It was pretty clear what you were doing anyway. I like the way you adapted the technique to your sleeve. Thanks for the video.

You can find them at http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/pag...=1,42363,42348

If you're in Canada you may find a store near you; or of course they will ship to just about anywhere.

I used one of the small ones in the "A" column. It works perfectly.

"The shipping address for your order is outside of Canada and the United States. We will contact you once we have calculated the shipping charge for your area. Therefore, your order total does not reflect the price of shipping at this time. You will be notified of these charges by e-mail and have the opportunity to either proceed with or cancel your order."

eh? That's a sucky system...

I cancelled my order.

I very much appreciated the suggestion.

And would happily undertake it.

The location of the magnetic sleep switch on the Aura is the lower-right corner of the screen (not the bezel).

Cost me absolutely nothing and works like a charm (stuck a random magnet and felt on a £5 cover that I bought a few weeks ago)

I have a handful of 'rare earth' super magnets somewhere. They are the size and thickness of a penny coin each. When I find them I will just slide one of them in that slot in the cover for cards etc and hold it there using super glue. I am sure magnet does not have to touch the screen. A strong magnet at the right spot would activate the switch. The magnet I am using now is an ordinary affair with less than remarkable strength. Even that works without actually touching the screen. A thin magnet in that card slot would make the whole contraption invisible. Fancy Kobo are asking for £40 for a sleep cover!
