I made a cover for my Nook out of an old Psychology textbook. You can use an expendable book from your collection or get one from a recycling center. There are directions on line for hollowing our books. Take your time at this and be careful. Cut out just one or two pages at a time.

After all the pages are cut, use Elmer's glue (or vegan equivalent to glue the cut pages together. I cut out a notch at the top where the Nook on-off switch is located. You can cut notches for cables, headphones etc.

The Nook is held in place using velcro pads. I can pull it out to recharge it or connect it to a computer.

The nice thing about a "Book" cover is that the whole thing feels like a book when you hold it. When I first used it, I found myself trying to flip pages. Also, for security purposed, the covered reader looks like an old book.
