No worries Martin worth asking, I will add some to my next order. Any idea roughly when you will be getting the notebook size?

Probably towards the end of October, early November.

Any chance of some kind of printable pouch for Kindles and other ebook readers?
Given the popularity of the latest Kindle, I'm guessing something thin and sleek might sell well.

Hopefully the netbook sized pouch will be be a one size fits all - it's likely to be around 200mm x 300mm, but if demand proves sufficient for something smaller then this is always a possibility for the future as well.

I think that might be way too big given that a device like the Kindle is only 120x190mm and 8.5mm thick.
I've never understood why people buy "large" netbooks - defeats the object to me. At 200x300mm, your netbook pouch would swamp my netbook - which measures only 175x225mm.
I should have a Kindle myself soon, so I'll have a better understanding of what I'm thinking about.

At the moment, I'm thinking of something thinner than your laptop pouch - perhaps something as thin as a pillowcase but with a soft inner that includes a fastening edge to stop the kindle slipping out.
Given that the "official" cases for a Kindle sells for £30 and £50 (unlike netbooks/laptops which have cases a'plenty on the market already), I just thought that a suitable printable pouch that we could sell for under a tenner might be a good Christmas seller if we can get in quick. However, I doubt that you'd be able to get anything in soon enough to do the job.
