Like the NC isn't heavy enough for reading. Good job though.

Lifehacker had an atricle about using book binding materials to make an Ipad case. It would be neat to make one.

I've always wanted to hollow out a book for something - just thought it would be kinda fun. Looks like you did a good job. Only thing to be concerned for is dropping the "book" and having the NC come flying out.

Putting my Nook in a book would ruin part of the benefit of using a Nook for me: I don't have to hold something open to be able to read; I can just lay it down and be done with it. This is definitely cool, but for me, if I have to hold it open it's not worth it.

looks heavy, I saw a guy do the same, but remove all the pages and cut material to replace the book binding and make it look more smooth, I gotta try it too, thanks for all the ideas

looks good though, noone would look at it twice...lol
great way to hide it

You missed an opportunity to do this with a Sarah Palin book.

This is going to be very useful in prison....but how will you get the NC into the pen in the first place?
