I agree that it's a nice little piece of kit. The light works well, and it hardly seems to impact the battery life at all - certainly not enough to worry about, given that the Kindle battery goes on and on seemingly for ever...

The light works very well at the sides. If I was to raise any objection, it would be that it slightly fades off at the bottom of the screen, though if you move the light slightly this is fixed, and anyway it is still very readable.

The cover is stiff with soft interior, and provides excellent protection. I don't have a single mark on my 6 month-old Kindle 3 yet. It is expensive, though - half the price of the Kindle, almost, but as it was a present, who am I to complain?
