Lighting options for entry level Kindle
Hi everyone - just curious about your recommendations for lighting options for the entry level Kindle. It's a shame that one of Amazon's lighted cases wasn't created for this model. Thanks in advance!

Kindle doesn't have the connections for one of Amazon's light cases.

Lighted cover for previous basic Kindle cost over $50. I think the price difference between the current Kindle 7 and Paperwhite doesn't justify buying K7 and lighted cover.

Have a look at the M-Edge covers which go with their e-luminator light.

I think that's the best that can be done. Since the new Kindle Basic (KT2) is almost the identical size and weight of the original Kindle Touch, M-Edge cases built for the Touch (and Kindle 4) should work well. And they're available pretty cheaply now.

I like the M-Edge Go! jackets -- if you look on Amazon or eBay, you should be able to get both the jacket and E-Luminator light for about $10 (including shipping). (If you live in the United States, that is. I'm trying to remember to make that stipulation clear.)

EDIT: I should have said ... I like the M-Edge Go! jackets if you can't use the original Kindle lighted covers, which (unfortunately) are not made for this Kindle.

$9.99 at the medgestore.com, too, and they ship internationally.
