Kindle Accessories help...

[Minnie's Pal]

Getting a Kindle for Christmas...what accessories are a must have for the Kindle? I'm overwhelmed by the cover choices, etc.

must have? Books.

Really nothing is absolutely must have. If you carry your Kindle around often you will want a good sturdy cover or pouch to carry it in.

If you read at night in bed often, you will likely want some sort of lighting solution.

If you bought a Kindle 3 and the above two apply, I highly recommend the Amazon lighted cover. It is pricey but I've never found a better booklight and it is always right there. I have an Oberon cover for my Kindle 2 and it is beautiful but I'd still choose the lighted bookcover over it for function.

If you want to make your Kindle pretty there are a ton of skins and things but those are just decorative. The screen protectors are completely unnecessary. Don't waste your money there.

I bought the leather cover with booklight - worth every penny. Its "granny smith apple green" (that's what I call it) and cheers me up every time I see it.

I will also recommend the 59.99 cover that Amazon sells with the built-in light. I bought it after reading reviews on a lot of other covers, and am very pleased with my purchase. Mine is bright pink--- LOVE it. It is pricey, but WELL worth it for me!

I have this too, in red. LOVE IT!!! The light is perfect--the other night I was stuck in the car waiting for my ds and pulled out my Kindle, flipped the light on, and was happy as a clam.
