Ereader book cover


In the days leading up to going travelling I guess you would expect me to be heavily busy with packing and sorting out last minute details. Whilst that is true, I have been working the last couple of days on making this cover for my ereader. I'm taking it with me on my travels. It should be in it's elemet because this was what my sony was designed for.  But I needed something that would protect it as well as disguise the fact I have an expensive gadget on me. So I was searching for covers to buy but they were, to be honest a bit boring. Then I stumbled upon the idea of hollowing out a book and sticking the device inside. Perfect! I thought.


It took longer than I thought it would because the only craft knife I have is now really blunt but with perseverance I got there. I then stuck on some pretty paper to finish the look.






It's slightly ironic that I've got a book to protect my electronic book isn't it!

It was just a notebook I bought from Ryman's. I scoured all of our charity shops and cheap book shops but couldn't find one the right size. Most books were too small or too big defeating the purpose of a compact ereader.
