Hi! Rarely post on here (don't have much to add to all the greatness), but this forum has been SO good to me and my obsession with researching EVERY LITTLE THING before I buy, so in case someone is looking for exactly this, here it is
I scoured all over trying to find pics of people using Oberon 600 covers with their 650s, but could really only find....not much. I looked for ages on various boards, as I'm up in Canada, but was going to have it shipped to our cottage stateside, and billed to my father's Visa (tore mine up after Christmas lol!), and this that and the other...so I wanted to be sure about what I was buying.
I initially thought I'd get the Kindle3 cover, so I'd have room for an e-luminator2 to slide down the middle inseam- I don't like clips on the top (like the mighty bright and such), wanted to have it always in the cover with the book. Plus I have two kids under 5 who'd LOVE to wander off with a light clipped on the top
I'd read that they were still selling the old 600 covers for 650 users, but wanted that room for the light...WELL! No problem!
The girl I was emailing back and forth at Oberon (Amy?) was so helpful and tolerant, and I ended up just emailing them the Visa # and address, and dad just dropped it off on my doorstep today. Awesomeness
Anyway- some pics. Bigger than the Sony cover my husband gave to me, but feels smaller- maybe because it isn't so flappy with the bungee closer. Such a nice leathery feel to it with the bumps and hollows. Colour- seems true to the web pic on their site. Durability- good thick covers, bends back nicely.
I used to have an Astak pocket pro (?), and that faux leather cover was substantially nicer than the Sony 'leather' one, in that it had the magnetic closure. Why would Sony charge that much just to insert a light and knobbies to hold it in place when it just flaps away? Glad he got it for $30 instead of $50CAD.
I'm rambling, forgive. My kitchen table is a honey pine colour, just left the white leaflet in to show against the green. And of course who doesn't like a lil' semi-naked screensaver. I actually have 7 pics set for the slideshow, never know who I'm going to open the cover too...Sawyer...Jason Statham...Christian Bale...lol
Best feature on the 650 ever! That, and I figured out last night how to just bulk convert all my books to have the Caecilia font vs. the Sony font. Dead easy once you figure out Calibre.
Anyhoo...
