awww!   It reminds of Wall-E for some strange reason.   I got my Mighty Bright though and I am pretty happy with him.

Thanks for posting, we're always on the lookout for new accessories, and it will probably be just the right cover and light for someone!

I saw this somewhere else and people were wondering if the front cover could be folded behind the cover.  And what would happen to the light?  Anyone with personal experience?

I too have the mighty bright and love it. 
The one thing in that article that irked me was, 'if you're still STUCK with amazon's original kindle'....STUCK?!  I don't know about everyone else but I wouldn't buy an e-book reader that did have a backlight!!!  Sheesh.

I noticed that exact same line, Jen, and even thought of leaving a comment and then decided...why bother?

I didnt like it.. too big and bulky.. I don't need a light 90% of the time so carrying it seems a bit weighty.  I also wonder if you can bend back the spine.. for me part of the beauty of the Kindle is one handed reading this looks like two handed to me.. its a pretty design but it just has way too much stuff going on

The only thing thing about it that intrigued me was the notepad!

hehe... I thought of Wall-E, too!  Smiley

I agree Jen, I don't feel stuck, and like you, I chose the Kindle b/c it wasn't backlit.
