Once upon a time in a tabletop rpg, a bard named Ysa had a dream of carrying all her stories and histories with her everywhere. She was certain she could invent a magical book, or perhaps a magical ink, that would be able to store an infinite number books in a single leather-bound volume.

Do you love the magic of carrying a nigh-infinite number of books with you everywhere, but just wish your e-reader looked a little more like a fancy leather-bound book?

This cute case looks like the cover of a book! Included are four cable motifs: a lamppost in the woods, a sword, a quill pen & ink jar, and an oak leaf. Also included is a space marked out for you to design your own cover, or use another chart or motif from elsewhere to make the book cover your own.

This case measures 5.25”x7” when laid flat after blocking. It was designed to fit a Kindle Paperwhite 10th generation, and should fit similar sized readers.
The pattern also includes instructions on where you should add or remove stitches or rows to make it fit any other e-reader or tablet of your choice
