How to turn an old book into a case for your Kindle

I don't like the look of the Amazon Kindle. It turns one of the most romantic acts possible on public transport - reading - into an ugliness on par with playing Angry Birds on an iPad. With this indisputable fact in mind, I decided to encase my Kindle in an old book that I found on the street in Berlin.

Here's how:

Step 1: Find an old book on the street.


Step 2: Cut a carefully measured hole in it for the Kindle.


Step 3: Put the Kindle in the hole.


Step 4: Cut a slightly smaller hole in a few pages above the hole you cut for the Kindle. These will serve as a border to hide all the artless bullshit Amazon put around the edge of the Kindle screen.


Nice! You're done. Your Kindle no longer looks awful.
