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).

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Because books.
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The case was part of my Christmas present, otherwise I might have picked something like this [link]
ZOMG. Very cool. But I want a thin case to retain the nice, slim portability the Kindle has.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.

Art Crawl!!!

The 10th anniversary edition of Neil Gaiman's American Gods is available on the Kindle for $1.99 - [link] . Dunno for how long, so probably best to grab while you can.

Which raises a different Kindle issue - where do y'all go to find out about Kindle/e-book deals? I regularly check out Daily Cheap Reads but are there other places I should be looking as well?

I was doing some...ahem...and buying more than I wanted (especially since sometimes they were MORE expensive than the paperback due to publisher demands!) but now I am almost exclusively reading from the library. Yay, library!
