Still looking for the perfect kindle cover (and for the perfect price). My Kindle is currently residing in a makeshfit cover made from it's old scoop in the box and the outside of an agenda of mine. It;s so ugly I'm embarrassed to take it in out in public.

Too expensive unfortunately. Add the delivery price and it's astronomic!
Saw some chepos on amazon but they only deliver in the US.
Figures!

Until the day before yesterday I used my unlighted cover without any problem. Then Kindle started to froze. I didn't want to throw it away since I really satisfied with it. Then I started to think about a solution to this problem. And today I made a small operation on Kindle as described on the photo. I hope this solves the problem entirely.

Just before writing this thread I found an old thread which also suggests a solution which is a bit ambiguous. I think that my solution is more accurate If you decided to not use the lighted cover. (Of course you can change to its default with a little effort)

However it will take time to be sure that my little operation is really a solution.

everything has its price, Badger I had a cheap cover for my K ($15) and broke its screen while it was still in that cover. And I also found that using that cover was really uneasy, I always prefered the K bare.

Now I have this Oberon cover and never get the K out again The new cover is really sturdy, and practical. I suggest you reconsider Oberon cover

I;m also the type that reads the Kindle naked. I was thinking that one day when I win the lottery or inherit a fortune from an aunt whom I have never met I will buy this one from Thule. Looks bomb proof.
But yeah the Oberon is pretty . *sigh* Choices, choices.

go for the beauty

(I must add, kindle in Oberon cover is pretty heavy. Like you're holding a hardback. But that's all, there's no other cons. And here come the pros:
- sturdy,
- beautiful,
- extra key charm and extra bungee cord, just in case,
- thick leather can be bended.)

I have a sleeve for my K3. It is pretty and I can read my Kindle naked. It is a win win.
