No offense, but you'll have to prove it to me. I've seen at least a dozen reviews at YT of the lighted cover, and they all look just like mine, and the reviews say the same things I did here. It'll work in a pinch for a plane flight or something, but I sure wouldn't want to read by that dinky light all the time.
I think a back-light would be the best alternative as long as you could turn it off during the day or outdoors. I'm guessing the color Kindle will have a back-light when it arives. I sure hope they make it thicker and longer too. And if they made it read epub, that would be ideal. I made a mock-up for it in my review. I think if they made it longer like this so you'd have a place to put your thumb, that would help significantly. It would also move the page turn buttoms up and out of the way a little (though they'd be much better off nearer to the top), and boy do they need to do that. I like the way my Kindle works, but ergomonically it's a mess. They really need to revamp this thing in a big way. I mean, really, what fool would design an e-reader so that the sides of your hands rest right smack on the page turn buttons? It's insane. But most e-readers do this. There's just no common sense in these designs at all.
