    OK ?? I'll ask... Whats a Kindle?

    Sounds like a name for a handle you would use the pick up a relative?
    Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore

    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

    The Kindle 2.0's back is metallic. I'm not sure about the first version of the Kindle. You would need to probably use Cermark to mark the back of the case. Based on the price of the Kindle alone would make me nervous to engrave.
    Thanks,

    As for the original, I have no idea.
    I have an Epilog Mini 24 (40W) fueled by a Macbook Pro.

    My daughter has had one for over a year. She's such a nerd that she even named it.

    Most of the college kids getting these are buying covers other than what comes with it. She has a red leather cover on hers. It's a neat little gadget. She downloads a lot of her textbooks and saves money.

    Never heard of it until this thread either... But the Time magazine has an advertisement exlaining the "new Aluminimum back" has advantages, so that would confirm for me that it's actually aluminimum - I mean - if it's in Time magazine it has to be true right?!?!

    I have the original Kindle and the back is plastic with a silicone mat covering most of it which is engraved already like a rubber stamp (for grip, I suppose).
