I hope these images aren't too big. I didn't know how to do thumbnails.

Merry Christmas!

Hi, sleepy6553. Your images were fine but if you want to use thumbnails instead, after you go into the Reply to Thread window, there is an Additional Options window below the reply window. One of the options is Attach Files; just click on the Manage Attachments button and you can upload pictures from your computer or from elsewhere on the Internet and they will show as thumbnails in your post.

I had to do a Google search to find out how to do this on a forum; if there is no Manage Attachments choice, I haven't a clue - there is probably some sort of vBulletin command string you can use (something like [thumbnail]your image[/thumbnail] is what I mean by "command string") but luckily MobileRead provides us with the means to do this.

I have this one in matte from DecalGirl:

I absolutely LOVE it! I am extremely picky when it comes to my stuff and I couldn't have been more pleased with how easy this went on and how it looks and feels. There are little channels in the decal (invisible) so that there are no air bubbles and that's a huge plus. I normally pick bright, girly stuff, but I thought I'd try out a nice "soothing" decal that wouldn't distract me too much while reading. Maybe the next one I get will be a little more daring, lol.

sorry for the offtopic and thanks for opening these threads kindlekitten. there were way too many new threads on kindle covers.
i'm saving up on one myself but have been starting to look for a skin also.

I've just bought mine, couldn't find a free matte voucher so I used a 10% voucher I found online ($2 off =/)

LOL Thanks

I do hope it's not too much of a distraction

I do like the pattern though

kindlekitten · 12-27-2010, 12:09 PM

let us know how it works. I had "Irises" by Van Gough for awhile and it was too much. there were a lot of colors in it though

I thought about getting that one, because I do love Irises

and van Gogh as well, but decided it would be a bit much. See the picture below....

My skin has the high gloss finish; from the comments here it sounds as if the matte finish would be nicer. I think I will give one of them a try.

I am much more impressed with the matte than I thought I would be! ;o)

no...............

kindlekitten · 12-27-2010, 01:19 PM

maybe it is the wrong term. mine has this really interesting... glow... is the only term I can think of. anyway. I like it! ;o)

desertgrandma · 12-27-2010, 01:35 PM

Actually, i find it kinda 'restful'.....its dark enough to not be distracting, but now i can find my K3 anywhere in the house I lay it down!

I've decided I like reading it 'nekkid' much better than it a cover.

'course.......when it take it out, its in its cover.
