I just got my first Kindle this past weekend so trying to get the necessary accessories to make my purchase "complete".
I read mainly at night so the Octovo Solis is a must. No 2 ways around it. I wish it was selling through Amazon but it still isn't. I'm looking for a cover of some sort, whether that be a jacket or sleeve. Personally, I don't care if I read without the cover. That doesn't bother me. I'm disabled so most of my reading is at home. I'd like to get a leather cover from M-Edge. I'm debating between the M-Edge Page Sleeve or Prodigy Jacket.
Would anyone mind giving their best "guess" which would be better for me? Again, the jacket/cover/sleeve is mainly for protection. Most reading will be done without it. I also need to be able to use the Solis.
Ideas?
Personally, I prefer the M-Edge Prodigy; it can be folded back and the tab placed in the little channel to keep it folded back.
I'm just wondering if you've considered any other lights.
If you're going to get an M-Edge, I would highly recommend the e-luminator 2 light that is made for use with the M-Edge; I think the illumination of the e-luminator 2 light is superior to the Octovo and gives more consistent illumination to the whole screen; the Octovo is my 2nd favorite of the Kindle lights I've tried (Octovo, e-luminator, Verilux, Mighty Bright & Kandle) but if you're using the M-Edge, the e-luminator is excellent.
You don't say what your disability is; if it's hard to use your hands, it might be difficult for you to take the Kindle in and out of the Page Sleeve, as it's a snug fit.;
I mention the e-luminator only because you wrote you were new to Kindle, and I didn't know if you knew about them, not to try to talk you out of the Octovo;
if you've decided you want an Octovo no matter what, then the M-Edge Go cover might work better for you; it's a bit smaller and might be easier to hold.
The Prodigy is a little larger, because it has space along the spine for the e-luminator light to sit; without that light, there is a gap there. However, the Octovo would work fine with that cover, because the straps have elastic, and would allow the Octovo to attach on top of the Kindle without any difficulty.
(Except for the GO jacket, I own all the other products above, and am letting you know my preferences from personal experience.)
Whatever you decide, though, they're all really good quality items and you can't go wrong with any of the above choices. In the end, it mostly boils down to personal preference.
Let us know what you decide to get.
We also like pictures.
Congratulations on your Kindle and welcome to Kindleboards.
