You can purchase many types of covers for your Kindle. They even make these cool decals you can stick to your Kindle for decoration and mild protection. These are both great options. Another option are these rubber like skins that you slip over your Kindle 2. These provide more protection for your Kindle when it comes to drops and bumps, and also dress it up a bit.

These silicone rubber skins sell for around $10, and Amazon is adding free stuff along with them like screen protectors, headphones, and even car chargers for your Kindle. They come in a huge array of colors. These would be a great way to protect your Kindle for very little money.

Here are a few options that Amazon is offering for the Kindle 2:

Orange Color Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader Silicone Rubber Skin Case + Kindle2 Car Charger + FREE Kindle2 Anti Scratch LCD Screen Protector

Clear Semi-transparent Silicone Rubber Skin  + Kindle2 Stereo Sound Earbud Headphones + FREE Kindle2 Anti Scratch LCD Screen Protector

Pink Color (3 Packs) Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader Silicone Rubber Skin Case + 3 Packs FREE Kindle2 Anti Scratch LCD Screen Protectors

You can already have your Kindle safely tucked away in a protective cover, and would just like a cooler looking Kindle. These decal skins will fit your needs. They provide a small amount of protection against nicks and scratches while really giving it a personalized look.

Once you put the decal skin onto your Kindle, it can easily be removed. There is no adhesive used to adhere to your Kindle. The decals are actually quite cheap, costing just $15.

One thing to note when purchasing a decal skin for your Kindle. They are all model specific. Each decal is made specifically for either your Kindle 1, Kindle 2, or Kindle DX.

Karate Chop, Download, Read; these words all have the same meaning when talking about the awesomeness that is the Kindle.  You mean, I can read a nerdy blog on a train and everyone will think I’m reading Shakespeare? Karate Chop, Yes!

Here are those 10 Awesome Blogs

Amazon Daily

This is the only free blog available for you Kindle (to my knowledge).  This blog is from Amazon, and talks mostly about the Kindle Reader.  I would imagine that getting this blog would be a no brainer. Who can resist helpful hints and cool book suggestions?

The New York Times – Latest News

This is the most popular paid blog subscription for the Kindle.  The New York Times is probably the only newspaper in the US that isn’t quickly dying.  They offer intelligent reading, very cool articles, and a huge amount of reading.  Reading their Sunday paper takes an entire day almost.  $1.99/month

Huffington Post

The Huffington Post has quickly become one of the most popular websites on the internet for people to get their news.  This rise to fame can be attributed to their awesome reporting during the Presidential Election of 2008. This is a great place to get news that other people aren’t talking about. $1.99/month

The Onion

The Onion is bar-none, the most entertaining and funny news site ever made in the history of man.  They are somehow to consistently create a good amount of content without ever missing a beat.  Often times, I laugh so hard I cry. $1.99/month

The Clutter Diet Blog

This has become quite the popular blog for the Kindle recently.  I’m not sure why, but thought I would mention it.  The Clutter Diet Blog isn’t about loosing weight, or finding a new and improved wife / mistress, its a Blog about organizing your house, garage, closets, kitchen, all that boring stuff.  If your into that though, check it out, I guess it’s cool otherwise. $0.99/month

AP US News

The News from the Associated Press sent to your Kindle, very cool.  The Associated Press has become the most trusted source of high quality news information and are great at delivery great stories that are never outdated.  If I was on a stranded island, with a Kindle and a coconut, and allowed to only get 1 blog per month on my Kindle, this would be a close second to The Onion. $1.99/month

Gizmodo

Due to the nature of the Kindle, everyone who owns one will inherently have some nerdish qualities.  Gizmodo is the perfect nerd-quencher.  You can stay up to date with all the new electronic toys and gadgets and probably get some cool articles about how everyone is jealous of your Kindle. $1.99/month

TechCrunch

TechCrunch is going to be the more web-centric blog than Gizmodo.  Articles directed more towards IT managers, web-designers, and people really just crazily addicted to the Internet.  The cool thing about TechCrunch is that there is so much content that they put out it is hard to not find something of interest to you. $1.99/month

Daily Kos

The Daily Kos is the perfect blog to read if you are considering forming your own militia, or just to get a feel for the state of politics in The United States.  Known for its breaking edge articles and highly user driven content, the Daily Kos is a really interesting read, if you can get over the activism scented articles. $0.99/month

Michelle Malkin

Blogs written by one person are my favorite types.  Michelle Malkin has a great writing style on topics such as politics, current events, and pop culture.  She is touted as being a conservative writer, so if your not into that, stay away.  In America you get a choice to choose, not the power to take away from others. There’s my politics for the day! $1.99/month
