Possibly, but I didn't want to do anything permanent to the Oberon. The Amazon is a bit smaller than the Oberon, so I'm not sure how it would work.

Zinnia, you're not alone, I agree with you completely.  (But also support others right to hinge  Grin)

I don't see how it would be any different than the journal/amazon combo that people have been using for the last year. It's been working for them just fine. This is just a more streamlined version.

Hey luvmy4brats, that looks just like mine except I used the go cover. Took a bit more effort to get it apart, but the cover medge uses is very stiff - hard plastic so it is very secure. And the insert can be moved from cover to cover. I have no concerns in the long run. If you don't want to do it , then, well don't!  Given that the hinge system is patented then the cost of purchasing the rights to use it is most likely prohibitive for Oberon and perhaps a reason why they don't use it. Just a guess.

Pushka, thanks for the info on the Go cover. I may try that later.

To be honest, I only did this to see how it would turn out because I had an Amazon cover laying around. I never actually intended to use it like this, but I really like it.

Question for Luvmy4brats:  Does attaching the Kindle to the hinge you've added to your Oberon place the Kindle further to the right side of the Oberon cover?  I can't tell from the pics.

It's exactly where it would be if it were in the cover by itself.
