Bored? Give me some ideas.

Maybe a case for it? Or a cute throw to snuggle in while reading?

Amazon giftcard. I like the throw idea too. Case, maybe the kind that doubles as a stand. Microfiber wipe for screen.

Our local Staples has an area dedicated to Kindle accessories.

How much time have you got? Perhaps a children's author would sign a book to include. If there's anyone local, that might work.

(Which I get is not Kindle related, but is Joy of Reading related.)

Thanks guys. I am getting an Amazon gift card. Great idea for a throw blankets and mugs. I looked for accessories but the case for the new Kindle is $40 and since we have only had 5 parents return money so far, I am trying to be frugal. I though about some books, too! Maybe some kid and adult books. And treats!

Awesome.

Which size Kindle Fire did you get? You can definitely get cases that are cheaper than $40.

the new Kindle Fire HD for $199. I think it is a 7 inch.

[mishap]

Marware has cases for $20. Or you can just look for any other 7-inch tablet case.

Cool, thanks. I was not sure if they would fit.

You have to get one specifically for the Fire HD... it's 7.8 inches, so won't fit in a 7inch case.

Here's on for $24 -

(It also comes with a $3 Amazon credit toward Amazon MP3s )

Is the kindle fire backlit like the original kindle or is it like the iPad? If it isn't back lit and it's like an iPad I would get a reading light to use with it.

Thanks! It is like the iPad.

I like the ideas posted about a throw blanket and a mug with tea / hot chocolate / coffee... It definitely ties into the theme of reading.

There is also a Kindle Fire for Dummies book which could be good since he Fire has a lot more options with it than a traditional kindle and some people may not know how to use the internet on it and all of the extras.

I don't know if there is one where you are, but Five Below has tons of accessories for kindles. I got a case and a stylus there, and they have chargers and headphones and stuff, too. For cheap!
