Now......If my M-edge cover had a thin leather strap that I could hang across my body...........that would be great! I could carry the Kindle with me at all times, and read whenever the opportunity presented itself.

Think of a case like the M-Edge, or Oberon, with two little metal rings at the top. An adjustable thin strap would hook to that.

Actually, this would work with any model e-book reader..........

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You totally read my mind. It's a design that would sell. All those folks who've forgotten their readers on the plane wouldn't have to worry anymore (and of course air heads like me would be safer).

I'm sorry you had to feel my panic.

Wow... I was on the edge of my seat with terror... really I was.

This is why you need to have 3 or 4 Kindles (readers) so you have a spare in case you do something like this again.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!

PS: The man probably just returned it because of the cover's color

Gotta admit, I'm more apt to leave my cell phone than my Kindle.

My Kindle is feminized with the skin and cover. It was actually a woman cashier in a glassed off room (like a bank teller), and I'm sure she just had one of men employees who was walking through the lobby, chase me down. She had seen me putting the Kindle to sleep and closing the cover when I walked up to the window.

Hmmm, I only have 2 (3 if you count the iPod Touch, which I don't), so I guess it's time to stock up.

Sorry for the scare.
