I purchased a Kindle e-reader from Amazon in October 2010. I thought it the greatest thing, but it didn't come with a cover - not even a small cloth bag. There is a range on the Amazon website (the Kindle is exclusive to Amazon - although they now sell them in PC World - so you won't easily find the product or accessories for it anywhere else) from pouches to leather covers, and they can be quite pricey. I have dropped my Kindle (on carpet) and it was fine, I have also spilt wasabi sauce on it and it has been fine. Nonetheless I was still worried that the screen could get scratched or damaged whilst lurking in the bottom of my handbag. Thus I dithered for a bit ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to most things I buy I can tell you if I love them or hate them, it's a simple as that. Where my Kindle e-book reader is concerned it's love, pure and simple, however my feelings about the official Amazon cover that I bought to go with it are much more complicated, as you will see. The "official" Kindle covers for the third generation kindles are available from Amazon only. There are there are two versions, both in leather, one is a simple cover as pictured above for £29.99, the other is a version with an integrated light for £49.99. I actually own the latter version, in what Amazon call "burgundy" - it's red, and in case ...  Read the complete review

When I bought my Kindle 3 a while ago, with it I bought a Kindle Leather Cover with it so that I could store it in it as a form of protection. It cost me £53.00 which was, I thought, ridiculously expensive - but because it was recommended to me by the assistant in PC World, I decided to opt for it as it was there and available. It is also the version that is specifically manufactured by Amazon for the Kindle, rather than one that has been adapted by another manufacturer and I do generally like the original version of things. I got the black version of this cover - because I thought it was the one that looked the most stylish, but I could have chosen from red, ...  Read the complete review

Kindle cover The Amazon Kindle was the best selling product on Amazon last Christmas and is quickly becoming the leader in the e-reader field. However, you do have to buy the cover for the Kindle separately, and yes, this is a necessary accessory purchase. The Kindle itself is quite lightweight and you are quite aware when just looking at it by itself that it could be quite fragile and by itself not sustain the kind of general 'trauma' that you would put a book through by itself - eg just shoving it in your handbag/suitcase etc. So when I received my Kindle as a present from hubby on Christmas day, the cover was a purchase that I made ...  Read the complete review

The Kindle 3 is certainly a robust and well made piece iof kit however given that we had spent the best part of £150 on it in my opinion it made sense to invest a bit more money to ensure it had a little extra protection against scratches to the screen and accidental drops either when in use or when it is being transported. In addition because the Kindle is pretty lightweight adding a protective case would not increase the weight too much. This is a stylish well made leather cover that is available in a range of colours including a very feminine pink colour however because our Kindle would be used by my other half a lot on the train and not just me I played it ...  Read the complete review
