srsly? i think i paid like $25 for my original nook leather book type case and it's lasted a long ass time with zero problems. i'm looking at the new nook covers because i might upgrade since my buttons are totally breaking off on my current nook and some are like $60! the fk? i'm almost tempted to go look at the kindle touch. i'm sure amazon has better prices for it's accessories.

The cover prices are insane.

I bought the absolute most basic padded sleeve and it was like $20 for a $5 piece of fabric.

When I upgraded I decided to keep the new Nook at home and use the old one with its nice hard case for when I leave the house.

When I bought my Nook, first gen, I remember seeing covers from $20.00 to $80.00. I'm pretty sure I paid $20.00 or 30 for mine. It's a hard leather cover.

it's ridiculous.

and lol @ amazon's being $50 more for the same thing. who in their right mind would buy a kindle over a nook? they're the same size and do the same thing and one costs like 2/3rd of the price.

I bought a leather, book style, cover for my Nook on Etsy for 29 bucks.
