Somehow in my internet travels this evening I came across these wonderful covers for Kindles, Kobos, Sony Readers (do they have a name?) and iPads. I know that when I got my Kindle last Christmas I spent forever trying to find a unique, stylish and affordable cover. Randy Belyk from Victoria had the same dilemma, only he got crafty and made his own. An IBM technician by day, he quickly got enough orders from friends and family to fill up his evenings and weekends! I love this idea, since choosing the cover can be such a personal choice. He uses traditional bookbinding techniques with all new materials (except for the covers of course) to create custom-made covers for any sized reader. The options are endless! Here are some of my favourites...
One of the boys' current favourite books... which also was my brother's favourite (he had the entire thing memorized)... I love the inside:

I read every single Nancy Drew book - and most of the Hardy Boys too...
For the more "sophisticated" person on your list...
Such a great idea Randy!
That's pretty funny. You get to "feel" like you are reading a book with the convenience of digital.
ReplyDeleteLove this! What a great idea. Trying to decide what old book I would pick. Maybe Jane Austen's Emma.....
