Found Footage: Turn an iPod touch into a Moleskine book
Wired has posted a guide/video showing you how to turn your iPod touch into a Moleskine book. They go on to turn the iPod touch into an e-reader type device by jailbreaking it. They used an application called "free Books" which can be found in the installer.app once your iPod touch has been jailbroken.
For the full guide, check out the Wired article.

Or you could just use the Touch and not waist an hour and a half of your life, 4 exacto blades and a real moleskin book.
Just a thought.

Haha, I said waist.

This reminds me quite a bit of an earlier hack that turned a Moleskine into an external hard drive case. Frankly, I think these efforts are attempts to use technology without -looking- like a tech geek. Perhaps Apple should take a cue from this and try some new design directions.

I would be more impressed if they got it into an Altoids tin.

This defeats the whole purpose of the "geek's PDA" that is the Moleskine... *sigh*

When I was younger and forced to go to church on sundays, a camouflaged iPhone would have been pretty cool...

What a waste of a perfectly good Moleskine.

I dig it. Looks like a lot of effort though.

As an old-school graphic designer (before Macs, if you can believe it), this gives new meaning to the term "retrofitting."

I hope he put the Moleskine cut-outs to good use. What a waste of great paper.

Cory, this is Steve from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Moleskines, and I want you to know that we are NOT HAPPY with this article demonstrating Moleskine desecration to the public.

So, where do you plug in the headphones?

Good point here.
Also, you can't access the lock/sleep button and have to depend on the timed preference.

I like it. Same thought on the headphones, but it's a neat bit of craftiness.

This article was lame when it hit Wired, it's now TWICE as lame reprinted *cough* copy-pasted into TUAW.
Try not to nuke the fridge like CNet, TUAWFolk... you're painfully close.

Now all you need is two of them, one for each side, and a way to link them so that when you "turn" one to the next page, you turn them both - all like a real book.
Ha, then you can also have some fun with two person pong :P

Do i need a video to show me how to cut holes in a piece of paper?
Web 2.0 has a lot to answer for.

This hack is even better, and there are pictures of cat waste in it, which is always good:
