I don't know about covers for the other Kindle models, but my cover/stand that I have used with my Kindle Keyboard doesn't fit the T62. I was hoping I would be able to use it until I found something better. Even though obviously the T62 doesn't have the area at the bottom where the KK has the keyboard, it seemed like the openings for the page turn buttons and the screen would line up well. But it was just a tiny bit too tight and I didn't want to damage the screen by forcing it in there. I am not at all crafty, but I think I may try to make a cover/stand if I can't find one to buy.

I finally realized that the T62 had another built-in reading app, and since I switched from Adobe to the FBReader, these annoying problems seem to have disappeared.
With Adobe I had a terrible time trying to bring up the menu to change the font or access the light control. Most of the time when I tapped at the top of the screen it either made the font HUGE or scrolled to the previous page. And sometimes the text would just get really tiny instead, plus when I would reopen a book it would open back at the start instead of where I left off, and with a very small font size instead of the larger font it had when I closed it. That was very frustrating!
I am happy to report that I don't seem to have any of those problems with FBReader, and I am really loving this device.
The built-in music app is working great for my needs, and the device goes into sleep mode, like it's supposed to, after my recording finishes playing. At least as long as the light is turned off. I tested it this morning after reading with the frontlight on, and after leaving it inactive for a few minutes, it still hadn't gone to sleep. Is there any way to set it to sleep after 2 minutes of inactivity even if the light is on? That would probably be useful if I actually fall asleep reading in bed.
Downeaster59 - thank you for your review. I'm sorry the lowest level is too bright for you. I think Delph found the same thing. Can you restore the previous firmware until they fix the issue? I hope you are able to resolve it.
