Hi there, first time posting here! I thought I'd let you know that apparently they had to scrap the reading light last minute because it was attached via magnets, which interfered with the EVDO access. Incidentally that it is the same reason why they had to scrap the original cover design for it as well (it had a magnetic clasp). My Kindle is not quite here yet

but as I understand it from what others have said, there is still a depression where the original light was to attach. Someone found the original manual that was to go with the Kindle before the changes... which is how I came about all this info!

Have fun all!!
