[Quick Post] Wired's iPod touch Moleskine

I found an interesting article over at Wired on how modding a Moleskine into an eBook reader [link]. The process requires an iPod touch with jailbreak, making a hole inside the Moleskine to hide the iPod touch, and, of course, eBooks. I've been half-lusting over the Amazon Kindle since it's release. While this has an overall cost of slightly less than an Amazon Kindle, it has just over half the screen size. It might not be as simple to get the books, or as easy to read as the Kindle, but I imagine it being infinitely more useful. An iPod touch (even without jailbreak) can play music and video, as well as surf the internet over WiFi, all without sacrificing anything. This might even be made easier later by the App Store that will be added to iPhones and iPod touches soon.
