497. DIY Kindle Case
I don’t understand why the Kindle case is so expensive. It’s more than half of the actual Kindle unit. Because I’m not willing to spend that much over a simple case, I decided to make one myself.
I brushed the edges of the book using a water+glue solution, then let it dry overnight.
I marked the book to the size of the Kindle then cut the pages out a few pages at a time until the depth is enough to fit the Kindle.
I brushed the insides again with the glue solution.
Velcro straps attached to cloth were placed to keep the Kindle intact.
Garter was glued to the back to secure the cover.
Wah-lah! 3000 books within a book!
(Full procedure in my Blogspot.)
496. Book case (teaser)
Made a Kindle case out of an old book! It’s not yet fully finished. The complete entry will come soon. :)
492. Idris
(with a special appearance from the Moleskine, the booklight and the pen)
Amy Pond: She’s the TARDIS?
The Eleventh Doctor: And she’s a woman! She’s a woman and she’s the TARDIS.
Amy Pond: Did you wish really hard?
The Eleventh Doctor: Shut up! Not like that…
Idris: Hello, I’m… Sexy.
The Eleventh Doctor: Still shut up.

Yes, I did wish really hard and I got a sexy TARDIS in the form of a Kindle. Hello, technology. Hello, digital world. I now own a Kindle Touch!
This sexy thing is my own bookworm TARDIS, because it’s small but it’s big in the inside and can hold over 3000 books. Even if the female text-to-speech voice is funny, I decided that ze Kindle will be a lady. The gadget is named after the female and human form of the TARDIS, Idris. Woooorp-vvvvoooorrrp.
Oooooweeeeoooooo. oooooo-ooo-ooohhhh.
Off to read. Geronimo!
