Congratulations and welcome to the world of e-readers! I've just started getting into it myself - and with the Sony PRS-600, too.

In my case, I was motivated by the fact of being an English speaker in a non-English speaking country (France). I had been making a couple trips back to the US each year, returning with a suitcase full of books to tide me over to the next trip (with the occasional orders from Amazon.co.uk) - but DH was starting to complain about the bookshelves overburdened with all my past purchases.

Was also thrilled to find that I can download news from "back home" onto the Reader, too, thanks to Calibre. (Do check that out if you haven't done so yet! It's a super little program.)

I went with a cover from M-Edge and their reading light, which isn't a clip-on, but rather tucks into the cover quite conveniently, both for use and for storage. Because I spend most of my day on the computer, I find the non-backlit reader is much easier on the eyes.

Anyhow, enjoy your new toy. I am certainly enjoying mine!
