I placed my order for the Kindle 3 plus the lighted cover. I plan to take advantage of it in the car as the spousal unit and I often drive for an hour or more after dark on our many travels.

The Kindle case-with-LED wouldn't work for me, as I lie on my right side to read, and the lamp arm would hit the mattress. But it might work great for other people; I look forward to hearing from people who have ordered it how it works out for them.

In my case, I lie on my left side, so it should work for me in bed. It will be much better than my current light -- a maglight flashlight held between my chin and left shoulder.
If you only need a light for reading in bed, then it sounds like the lighted cover isn't for you. But if you have other places where the light would come in handy, you might consider the lighted cover (since the light would always be with you) and continue to use your headlamp in bed.
