I borrowed a nook recently and I was petrified that I would mark it up somehow in my purse. So I used some felt that I had laying around to create a simple, yet effective cozy for it :) Please note that my sewing skills are beginner... at best. I used felt because it was cheap, comes in a variety of colors, its easy to work with, and it was very soft. You can also modify this for an ipad or kindle :)

Lay out a double layer of felt and place your nook on top to make sure it fits. You want to have about a 1/4 of an inch all the way around for seam allowance.
Fold the felt tover to make sure it fits this way too :) The felt that I purchase from Micheals and Joanns is a perfect fit all the way around. Its about the size of a piece of paper.
Using a ruler, mark the half way point at the top and the bottom of the felt
Draw a line down the center with a fabric pen.
Cut! I did mine through both layers a the same time. Keep the line as straight as possible!
Make sure your nook still fits
Pin the two layers together (Yes, I did switch colors :) Sorry about that!)
Sew together using a sewing machine or hand stitching.
Make sure you sew all the way around!
Do it again. These are pink on one side and grey on the other :D
Pin together and sew around 3 sides, leaving one of the smaller sides open. Trim any loose ends. Also, clean up the edges if they got a bit crooked.
And your finished! This is what the inside looks like
Here is the nook, snuggled all cozy inside of its case
I made a few, so that when others borrowed them, they could choose which colors they liked :D
Side view so you can see how cute the exposed edges look. Also, make sure your kitty approves, as Felix here so obviously does :3
