Turn your ereader into a composition notebook!

So in this post I will be sharing the Nook screensavers and one wallpaper I made by resizing composition notebook images from Vernacular Typography. I'll start by showing pictures of my Nook with the wallpaper and screensaver I use.
So here is the screensaver in action. I like that I decided to keep the black on the side. First didn't start like that but it just didn't feel right without the binding area. I went with this cover only even though I made a folder with all of them on there and have my screensaver switch from one composition notebook cover to the other. That covers just seems to stick out to me the most since that is the same companies comp books I buy. *shrug* Have many others to choose from for people with their own preference. Some I saved since they were quite unique and I liked them.
I don't know what it is about composition notebooks that I like so much. I know I'm not the only one. I guess I like them a lot since I use composition notebooks to write out story/book ideas, put together my plot lines, and even write stories in (even though I go back and just type it up on my computer later).


And the wallpaper I use for the composition notebook screensavers.


Now come the photos. Click on the photo for it to zoom in, and just copy and drop to your screen, save as, whatever if you'd like them. If the classic Nook size of 600 x 760 for wallpapers and 600 x 800 for screensavers doesn't fit your ereader, just resize and enjoy.

So here is the wallpaper I got from a Google search.


If you don't like that and just want the paper lines only without the partition bit then here's that, also from Google image search. Thought I'd add that on here just in case.


Composition notebook screensavers. Yay! Another thing I realized is that can be done with some image editor is that you can put something in the composition box and not have it just plain like it is now. Thinking of putting something on my own. Guess I could share that when I do it later.


















So that's it. I may share them on Nook-Look and whatever other sites I find doing a Google search. Hope you like them.

Nook screensavers and wallpapers

I was very busy trying to find the perfect screensavers and wallpapers for my Nook.
So I will be sharing the ones that I found from other websites and some others that I used the pictures and altered the sizes to fit my Nook screen. Hope you like them. I'm making the images small, but click on them for full size. If the nook size of 600 (width) by (800 height) for screensavers and 600 by 760 for wallpapers does not work for your ereader, just resize to correct measurements.
I first went with a Franz Kafka photo as my screensaver since he is one of my favorite writers. Found that image with a quick Google search.


For the wallpaper I wanted to go with another Kafka related picture and so I went with this illustration I found on Google as well.


After using that for a day or two I came across Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy related ones and just had to get some that had "Don't Panic." Didn't even think of that at first and it is seriously one of the best things ever to have as an ereader screensaver/wallpaper.
I can't remember where I got the first one unfortunately. The second one I got from Kindle Wallpapers and just resized the image. The last two were from Nook-Look. I actually don't even use the last two since I thought the other ones were better, but I'll share them anyways.





A really great wallpaper for these is another one I found on Nook-Look




I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan. Love his films and when I saw the drawing of Bill Murray as Steve Zissou I had to have it. Got this one from Kindle Wallpapers as well.


The wallpaper I went with for when using the Steve Zissou one is the Team Zissou emblem or whatever. Can't remember where I got it, but it was thanks to Google.


Proof that it looks good (doesn't appear like it due to my crappy phone camera, but the lettering still has the unfilled area in the middle of it, that has not changed when put on the Nook).



I was going to put up some more, but I don't want this post to get too long since I have a layout that centers each image. I have about 18 other screensavers and 1 wallpaper to share that I made and really love (I didn't make the images, just used someone else's picture and resized and what not).
May look into another template for this blog tonight. Thinking of just using one of the simple ones on here with the book case background. *shrugs* See what else I find I suppose.
