Kindle Leather Cover With Light is worth it!
Monday, November 8th, 2010Bought this with my latest gen Kindle. I wondered if the additional money for the light was worth it, and after using the cover for a while the answer is yes!
First the cover itself is very nice, I like the cord that keeps the cover closed when not in use. This precludes the kindle with cover from landing wrong and damaging at the hinges. The texture of the leather is very substantial and high quality.
The light apparently draws the power from the kindle through the connectors used to attach the Kindle to the cover- very simple to hook it up.
The light itself pulls out provides a white light onto the reading surface of the kindle, with enough light onto the key pad to allow use without contortions of the light itself.
I have used it to read in bed and it works great. Very convenient with nothing “extra” to carry around. I know the next time I am on a plane, it will definitely be handy with no need to turn on the overhead reading lamp (which barely works anyway).
I would definitely buy the product with the light over the one without.
