M-Edge Accessories, one of the many leading providers of eReader accessories, has announced today a series of Amazon Kindle jackets that will have a design sporting some of The New Yorker's famous covers. These jackets will provide customers and the magazine's readers with the unique and vivid way of protecting their precious Kindle, in impressive quality and functionality nevertheless.

"Our partnership with The New Yorker has resulted in three unique and timeless jacket options for Kindle owners and New Yorker subscribers alike,” commented Patrick Mish, CEO of M-Edge Accessories. “Similar to how The New Yorker can be judged by its cover, our branded New Yorker Kindle jackets provide another way for readers to personalize their devices with a statement of sophistication and distinctive visuals of American culture.”

Available will be the "Bookopolis" by Eric Drooker, "Book Lover" by Adrian Tomine, and "Sunday Afternoon in Central Park" by Bob Knox. The cover itself is made of 100% leather, while the pictures are printed using a photo sublimation process, with the best thing about it being that of the printed fabric on the front closely replicating the original cover art. As for inside the cover, M-Edge fitted the Kindle cover with a tan microfiber coating, as well as a hinge system compatible with the Amazon Kindle that hold your eBook reader firmly in place.

Versatility is assured to this by compatibility with the same company's e-Luminator2 booklight to allow users to enjoy their favorite books at night, or in low-light environments. Last but not least, I would mention something about the New Yorker's covers, namely the fact that since the very first issue in 1925, they have been a hallmark of the magazine.

Pricing for the M-Edge eReader Jackets with the iconic covers is at $49.99, while the subscribers of the magazine can purchase them at 20% discount.
