I have never, ever felt the need to read an issue of the New Yorker magazine. I’ve seen a few issues on the table at the various doctor’s appointments I have been to and recognize that the mag likes artsy covers. If you are a fan of the publication M-Edge is now offering a jacket for the Kindle featuring one of three cover designs.

The line is called the New Yorker Kindle Jacket and has covers called “Booktropolis,” “Book Lovers,” and “Sunday Afternoon in Central Park.” The cover of the Go! Jacket with the special artwork is 100% leather and the inside is tan microfiber.

Christmas will be here before you know it and one of the things on my wish list is the Amazon Kindle reader. I really like the idea of not having to trek to the bookstore when I want a new book. One of the best features of the Kindle is the E-Ink display.

At the same time, the display has no backlight so reading in the dark is impossible without light. One of the best new accessories for the holiday season to go along with the Kindle is the Periscope Lighted Folio.

I like to read and I could see myself buying the Amazon Kindle reader with its slick built-in Internet connectivity. It would be cool to be able to download new books without having to run to the bookstore to pick one out. Right now though, I think the Kindle is still overpriced.

iRex has announced three new eReaders called the 1000S, 1000SW, and wireless connectivity 1000SW. All of the readers have the same 10.2-inch screen that looks like paper. The readers also include a Wacom Penabled touch screen.
