Welcome to MR (MobileRead), gracej41
What a very nice daughter to gift you with the Sony. I hope you find a cover and light that you like.
Have you checked out the
Sony Forum and the sticky threads at the top of the forum, yet? There is one with lots of great links, "
Sony Reader Info, Start-Up & Reset Guide". If you scroll down to post 2 and 3, you will find links to other great information in the
MobileRead wiki.
Have fun exploring all the forums and just ask if you have any questions.
