I had the fun opportunity to try out the newest e-reader to hit the market: the Kobo {and also read 'A Tale of Two Cities' for the bajillionth time}. I loved the lightweight feel of it and the sleek, minimalist appearance. My colleague and Favourite Things blogger Natalie Bahadur owns one and loves it {be sure to check out her Kobo review}. Whenever a new gadget comes along, you can be sure that fun accessories are to follow. Gelaskins has been providing the handheld market with artistic skins for some time now, so it's no surprise that they introduced skins for the Kobo. My faves are below: the vintage Union Jack screams Vivienne Westwood chic, the Van Gogh almond branches is a great cover for an artsy friend, and the black-and-white spray paint graphic is perfect for the urban dweller.
