Kindle cases

[erilyn]

If I were to buy myself a Kindle, which the good AUD/USD exchange rate is making even more tempting, does anyone have recommendation about what brand/style of case I should get?

Or any other thoughts about Kindles? I'd be using it for reading fic even more than actual ebooks (though them too).

I just took the Glee s1 boxset out of my Amazon cart, since the extras are disappointing.

If you're looking for something that will read pdf, have you thought about the Barnes and Noble nook? It's easier to side-load content on those than on Kindle. I say that as a nook user, so I'm biased. But man, ereaders are awesome in general.

As for a case, I made one from a piece of fabric and some foam that was a lot cheaper than the official ones.

Honestly, pdf hadn't been something I'd thought much one way or another. But I will check out the Nook again, I can't recall what it was from the comparative specs of the various e-readers that led to me decide (sort-of) on a Kindle :)

How so?

nook reads more content directly, where as kindle requires a conversion process where you have to email files for conversion and then download them. It also allows you to buy from other sites or get loaners from the library which is limited with kindle.
