I refuse to read on my phone and only read on my tablet if it's a lighting issue. I'm kind of irrationally attached to reading on the Nook.

To Tumblr: No, Jensen Ackles cannot be Finnick. So sad, but we missed that window for sure.

I liked the Vorkosigan novels I read (which apparently are Komarr, Diplomatic Immunity, the ones packaged in Miles, Mystery, and Mayhem, and the ones packaged in Young Miles, if my bookshelf holds them all. I also read a collection of Cordelia ones that for some reason I don't see there - I wonder where it went?) but only remember them vaguely, despite it being no more than 1-2 years ago that I read them all. My brother read one of them and hated it - despite reading almost exclusively SF, he has a real hate-on for space opera.

I have a Kindle case - it opens like a book. I think this is the onehttp://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Touch-Leather-Cover/dp/B004SD22PQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1326940140&sr=8-3 .

I like having the case I don't worry about it scratching in my purse OR the cats walking on it and turning it on or scratching it.

The case was part of my Christmas present, otherwise I might have picked something like this [link]

My key thing was getting the smallest case possible. It's a leather envelope type--not even that--the Nook slips in and stays by friction, and the end is open so I can charge it in there. This profile, but too tight to take the Nook out by pulling it, there's a tab you yank on. It was the tiniest one I could find-it only adds maybe 5mm all round.

However, buying at the BN store was probably the dumbest financial decision.

I have a Nook cover that looks like a book cover which is the one my mom bought when she got us the Nook. It scares me a bit because it is seemingly flimsy compared to every other cover we have on things (otterboxes on phones, tablets etc.... I think if I could otterbox my life, I might survive better).

So far I'm decently good at not dropping shit (and the Nook looks like it will bounce okay...let's tempt fate some more) but having seen what two slips did to my sister's iPod Touch...sheeit. Better be careful.

My Kindle felt a little too slick to me without the cover. And between cats and kids and my own tendency to spill stuff occasionally, I like having the cover on mine.

I did buy another one, but when it arrived it smelled so horribly of vinyl and dye or something, I had to put it away. I also didn't like it as much as this one S. got for on clearance at TJ Maxx, I think.

ZOMG. Very cool. But I want a thin case to retain the nice, slim portability the Kindle has.

I bought this type of case for my kindle. I like it because if I am traveling I feel it is cushioned enough to throw it in my backpack with other stuff.

This is the case I bought for my kindle.
