Having read the above, I ordered a Kindle 3 cover. The light is only one one side, but AWESOME.
I also bought mine at a small discount. The regular price on the web site is $60. I paid $52.00 by going to the "new and used" link, and buying my cover through the Amazon Warehouse, "fulfillment by Amazon". I've had good experiences with "fulfillment by Amazon" in the past, although of course other peoples experiences may vary.
As the original poster described, the light does shut off when the kindle goes to sleep. Now I can turn off the bed lamp in my room and just use my Kindle light. If I fall asleep reading I don't waste electricity.
