Well, I made a new cover out of a book for my kindle paperwhite. Same method as last time, gluing the pages together into a solid block, tracing around the device and cutting the shape out with an xacto blade. Pressing and gluing again, making a notch for the on/off switch, and smoothing the inside edges with sandpaper. The first twenty pages or so came out neatly enough that I\’m saving them to use for grocery lists and notes.
The aftermath.
The result!
I\’ve run out of laminate sheeting which I was going to use over the cover, so the lettering doesn\’t peel off. Used packing tape instead. Some of it ended up with creases. And the spine got a little crushed under the stack I used to press it with. So it\’s not perfect. Still, it feels just like a book in my hand, though I haven\’t really tested it out by reading another e-book with it yet. Soon!
