The Kindle 3 and Kobo are very near each other in size (the Kindle being a tiny bit bigger).
It seems to be much easier to find cheap, colorful covers for Kindle than for Kobo (checking out eBay).
What do you think, would a Kindle cover, the kind with small straps across the corners, work at least reasonably well with a Kobo? Anyone tried one?

I'm thinking of something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Leather-Case-Ski...item35b0bef545

(I'm no stranger to modifying things if needed.)

(I'll be giving a young girl a Kobo as a surprise gift now that they are available at such good prices, and I want a cheap cover to begin with, and then, if she likes using the reader, she and I can look for something else and maybe spend a bit more for something she has picked herself)
