Accessories Kindle on way...what accessories are must-haves?

[cush]

My two cents worth. We have two Kindles here and bought a third as a present. I found the standard cover works just fine so far as long as a couple of pieces of Velcro (tm) are added to the back of the Kindle and its cover. I have also placed a shim made of a small folded strip of business card (creased lengthwise to help keep it in place.) under the right hand buttons to lower their sensitivity to being accidentally pressed. You will love your Kindle, Lots of good advice and help in this thread. Stand by for increased book buying (although there are many good freebies).

"Lots and lots of books....
he only really necessary thing is a book light. I like the Xtraflex 2 on the Amazon website, with the high and low settings

Perfect recommendation! After the book light, the next thing I bought for my Kindle was a small strip of velco to hold it in the case. I take the subway to work and the velco adds to piece of mind.

I too like the m-edge cover. But, hey folks! Don't forget at least a 2-gig sd card. Now let's fill that bad boy full o' books!

Getting a book is so convenient that unless I'm collecting for collecting's sake I don't see a big benefit to it. I might buy a few books in advance this week because I'm leaving the country next week on a trip and I'm not sure how good my Internet access will be while I'm away but here at home, I have Whispernet everywhere I am in my day-to-day life.

You have way more will power than me!! I just got my Kindle on Wednesday and have bought 6 books so far with plenty more lurking around on my wishlist!
