If Amazon’s Kindle ever makes it out of the US, I’ll be buying one. I will also be buying one of these lovely leather cases with which to conceal the Kindle’s geeky exterior.
The trouble is not the Kindle 2 design, which is a big improvement on the original, but the whole e-book concept itself. As we pointed out when we hid an iPod Touch inside a Moleskine notebook, electrons just aren’t as romantic as paper (and yes, we know paper contains electrons. Stop being so pedantic).
One day, we’re sure, the e-ink screen will be ubiquitous, with old men reading the sport section and young women checking out the Gadget Lab on reusable, rechargeable "paper". Until then, reading on an electronic device is simply dorky. You may as well hang a sign around your neck which reads "I hate girls".
And this is why these beautiful leather jackets from M-Edge are so helpful. They make your Kindle look like a real book, and they do it for just $45 — surely a small price for the chance to pass your genes on to future generations.
