Interesting. Thanks for posting about it.

That is ... really pretty cool. It seems that further down there are also options for the Paperwhite.

US-only, though. Perhaps that could change in the future.

M-Edge has offered something similar for Kindle, iPad, Sony & Kobo for a few years...

The thing that sucks is that they suggest a 3500x2500 pixel image or higher, but then they limit the filesize for upload to 3MB? That's a little counter-intuitive for some of us. Yes, JPEG is compressed, but at best quality compression for a JPEG, I've got some 3000x2000 images that are 3.2MB in size which don't qualify. That limit needs to be 5 or 6MB and not 3MB.

I'd be interested in seeing a final product or at least knowing how the picture feels on the cover itself and how durable it seems.

kevinp · 11-16-2013, 09:02 AM

They must've just upped the size limit.

fjtorres · 11-16-2013, 09:36 AM

Heh. Imagine that, they listen and they adapt.

This only appears to be available in the US

Yeah that's usually the case in the beginning. When I saw that you had posted in the thread I got my hopes up a little thinking that it might be available in the UK too.

I have one of these skins from amazon via Decalgirl.
This in particular. It's called Moontree.

Spoiler:

I like the fantasy feeling of this image

I purchased the origami cover for $70. It is now $54. I returned it (I have until January to actually mail it back), but I may not. Can't find a picture I want to put on it.

rdjack21 · 11-18-2013, 01:04 PM

While I love the idea here what they really need to do is allow some artists to do up some custom artwork that I can pick from. I would love a dragon cover.

See Oberon for awesome leather dragon covers.
