Add one more strong recommendation to get a cover, even if you only use it if you plan to take your Kindle out of the house. I had the M-Edge Latitude Jacket for my K2 and I'm looking forward to the K3 model. Skins are fun to customize your Kindle. DecalGirl is a very popular choice. Their skins fit well and when you want a change they come off without leaving any residue. A reading light might be useful depending on how and where you use your Kindle. Two of the more popular are the M-Edge eLuminiator2 or the Octavo Solis.

I would recommend downloading the User's Guide form Amazon in either PDF format or using one of the various Kindle Apps for PC, Mac, Android, etc. Read it from beginning to end even before your Kindle gets here. Then go through it again when you get your Kindle. Once you get familiar with your Kindle, look through it again to find ways of doing things that may not have clear before.
