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.
haha that's a wonderful DIY idea :) and a nice way to hide your ipad/kindle, usually burglars and robbers don't pay so much attention to a book :) Upvoted and re-esteemed!

Thanks! And, yes, like I read the other day: "We leave the books unsupervised; because thieves don't read and readers don't steal." — Al-Mutannabi Street, Baghdad https://mobile.twitter.com/yanafarz/status/820114356327190528

Really nice!! It also helps to glue some of the pages so they keep everything still.
Good job!

That's a great idea. Thanks for posting. I have an old Nook that you can't really find cases for anymore. When my current one wears out, I may try this out. I like your other content too. Followed for more.

This is a magnificent and tasteful (albeit furious) manual, analogous to the entire modern tech world. It is worthy of WikiHow. Please submit verbatim.

How should one decide which book is culturally irrelevant enough to be repurposed in this way?
