To add my brief experience with lights, I bought a Pathway light from Target. It does a fine job with illumination and uses AA batteries. But I can't close my cover with it on. It's a constant job of putting it on and taking it off and is something extra to have to tote along.

A cover is a must have for me as I take my K3 most everywhere (you never know when a chance to read for a few minutes will pop up.) A light is a nice option that is only occasionally needed. Having it all in one nice package is really convenient.

Here's another vote for the lighted Kindle cover. Bought it for my daughter to go along with her K3 Christmas present. Should have bought it for me on the first go 'round. Instead, I tried to go the economy route and bought cheaper, albeit very nice cases and separate book lights. All are being returned and replaced by the lighted K3 cover. False economy on my part.
