So Tanga had a deal-of-the-day for Kindle covers. Great price, so I bought one. It was advertised as fitting the "latest generation" Kindle. It arrives and, of course, my Kindle doesn't fit because my Kindle is too small!

Why, oh why, didn't Amazon give these things model numbers so they would be easy to tell apart? Obviously, the "latest generation" when that cover was made is not the same as the current "latest generation" Kindle. I've seen it called "fourth generation, non-touch" or 4NT for short, but this is obviously not an official name.

I'm out $6, which isn't so bad. But it does make buying a cover much more complicated than it should be. ARGHHH!
