My only two "must haves" are a good cover and a booklight for reading after my husband's rolled over to go to sleep.
When I say "good" cover, that's up to the user of course. I read with my K1 in the cover, so I went from the Amazon cover (which was okay but mine wasn't failproof) to an M-edge cover (the original one, without the light holder) to an Oberon cover. I picked up the Oberon at a bit of a lower price from someone who'd ordered a K2 and I have to say I love it. My husband's using my old M-edge so that worked out well for us both (I offered him the Oberon but he preferred the M-edge - which just goes to show you that it's important to find the right cover for your needs - if you even need one at all).
If you prefer reading with your Kindle naked, some type of protective sleeve would be a must for protection when you're carrying it around. There are lots of options out there.
As far as the book light, I have no imagination - I use the ever-popular Mighty Bright Xtra Flex 2 light that's featured on the Kindle info page - haven't had any complaints with it at all. Big thing with a clip-on light is that it has a long flexible neck so that you can position it for whatever position you're reading in to avoid glare.
Link to the Mighty Brights (they come in different colors) - they're also at some Targets and bookstores if you want to see one in person:

Only other accessory I have (a recent purchase) is a skin from decalgirl.com - I didn't want one for a long time, then I guess when the K2 came out I thought Pearl wanted a little pick-me-up so I got a skin & I have to say I really am pleased with it. But it certainly isn't a MUST have.
Oh, and I did pick up a Lightwedge zippered case that happens to fit my Kindle nicely, thought I'd be using it a lot to carry in my purse for extra protection, but I find I don't use it much after all. But maybe Lightwedge will come up with a light for the Kindle one day (they told me months ago they were working on one but nothing's materialized yet) & I can use it for that!
