Oberon's are not out yet for the K3. They should be up for sale at the end of this week. The best part is that Oberon is making a sleeve for the K3. Those will be available at the end of September/ beginning of October. Search for Oberon Designs to find their website. They are using the same covers and colors from the K2 for the K3 so you can pick your design and cover.

Kindle Boards has an entire section devoted to accessories and it is one of the busiest part of the community. If you need to see pictures of covers or talk with cover manufacturers directly take a look there. It says something when MEdge, Java Covers, Klear Kase, and Oberon all have employees who spend part of their day checking the boards and answering questions.

I have the K1 M-Edge Red Executive, K1 Oberon Red Sky Dragon (this is the only one I use), and the DXG Oberon Purple Sun (no longer available on the web site). If I get a K3 (not likely unless there is a massive price drop, I am happy with my DXG and willing to carry the heavier weight when travelling and using mass transit) I would get an Oberon Sleeve.

By all means, do tell. I want to enlighten her.

Why, you want to bankrupt her? I know people at KB with 6 covers, purses to match the covers, and a large number of skins. It is kind of scary. And then there is the discussion of tea (guilty as charged), rice cookers, and other kitchen equipment. It is a haven for enablers.

Point her to kindleboards.com in the Kindle Accessories forum. Some people there change their Oberon covers like they change their purses and/or shoes! (ProfCrash is also a regular there!)

Hand tooled, hand crafted, premium leather covers - that's Oberon!

Your fashionable friend's enthusiasm may cool considerably once she discovers that she can't change the geeky screen-saver to something cool

Actually, they are hand made but not "hand-tooled" (pressed leather to be exact). They are beautiful covers, nevertheless.

Trust me, she can afford it. Compared with her Imelda Marcos is a rank amateur when it comes to shoe collections.

I have huge numbers of shoes, too, but nothing majorly expensive (such as Manolos) - I LOVE the Oberon covers - will definitely be ordering one when they are up - just wish someone in the UK would sell them/distribute them here as the customs charges will be large!
