Amazon has issued a lighted cover for the newest gray Kindle. This cover is leather on the outside and lined with a microfiber suede fabric. There’s an LED light that pulls out of the upper right corner to illuminate the Kindle when needed. The Kindle is attached with metal hinges, and they also act as electrical contacts. Since the case draws power from the Kindle, you don’t have to worry about batteries – and the case is lighter without batteries, as well. The leather case comes in seven colors: black, burnt orange, chocolate brown, hot pink, steel blue, burgundy red, and apple green. The Kindle Lighted Leather Cover is $59.99.

I love my lighted cover!
Has anyone heard of plans to make this lighted cover for the prior Kindle generation?
One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can “read” books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…
