Trendy Digital sells a waterproof bag that has a lanyard attached to it that would probably work.

There are no lanyards, just cold rounded metal bars. They put them too far back over the seats, so you have to reach over people in the seats. It's too bad the Kindle doesn't have somewhere to fit in a wrist strap like on gaming portables.

IIRC the Kindle version of WFE is "only" $5... might be worth the lack of pain. :-) |

I think having a kindle will FINALLY give me an excuse not to lend a book. I've had too many bad experiences where people either never returned what they borrowed or it was in very bad shape. Needless to say, those people and I never got to be good friends

I remember long ago being the recipient of a borrowed book and spilling water on it... the guy was around when it happened and even though I offered to replace it, he wouldn't accept it. Another time, same guy, different book, I returned it with the binding slightly more broken down than he liked and he was extremely upset... oops. I hate borrowing books (the one I mentioned in my previous post was taken quite reluctantly) and would love to be able to borrow them as ebooks to avoid the fear of messing them up... that said, I refuse to borrow ebooks as I don't want to "use up" their lending period, especially since I don't get as much reading time as I'd like and don't necessarily finish them in two weeks, "wasting" their one and only loan.

My wife didn't like the idea of the device. She loves books. Now that I have a couple of books on the K3 that she wants to read, it's difficult getting the thing out of her hands. :) You'll know all is lost when you hear: "If you really loved me, you'd let me read it." Or in slightly less dire circumstances: "But I thought you were my friend!" These problems can be solved immediately, of course, by downloading only books written backwards in 4-pt. Esperanto. |

Good point. I always wondered why the Nook (Barns and Noble) had a lanyard. Now I see there is a need for it. Down here in the South there are no subways and very few ride the bus.

I like lanyards - maybe to offset the potential klutz in me (I've actually dropped very few devices over the years). I added one to my BB before they provided such an anchor point and to my Tomtom car gps. And my camera's lanyard is further "lanyarded" to my camera's case with a longer strap (reaching out over the Grand Canyon and off Angel's Landing one can't be too safe).
I've managed to get monofilament fishing line into and around nooks and crannies to create missing attachment points. |
