I bought the Kindle Leather Lighted Cover at the same time as the kindle and most of the time I find myself removing the Kindle from the cover and setting the cover aside to make the Kindle lighter and I have rarely had reason to use the light. It seems like a nice protector when I slide the kindle + cover into my laptop bag for travel, but it doesn't seem like I'm really using it to it's full potential. Maybe something like a sleeve would be more appropriate for my needs. I'd sure like to try one.
