I received the Sony Reader as a Christmas present and love it! I tried using a traditional book light with the reader, but it just didn't work well. Kept trying to adjust the direction of the light, but to no avail. The Custom Light Shield illuminates the entire page perfectly. It's a pleasure to lie on the sofa, dim the room lights, and still see the entire page clearly. The Sony Reader and the Custom Light Shield make for a perfect combination. Although it's a bit expensive and does make the book a bit heavier, it is well worth the investment! Buy Cover with Custom Light Shield +2 Aaa Batteries!

I bought this to read current books. It is well built and easy to use - BUT - if you want to read current Authors, it's very difficult to find these books in .txt or the old .pdf format that isn't the new Adobe Digital Ebook!!! Adobe Digital Ebook won't work with the Jetbook.
I also find the screen darker than shown in the picture!! It's more brown.
I ended up getting the Sony PRS 505 and now am very happy!!
For strictly reading Best Sellers and New Released books - this doesn't make it!!!
If you want to read classics (Moby Dick, Huckleberry Finn, etc.) than this will work!!
I suggest before you buy any ebook reader, check out the websites and see what books are offered in the formats for each reader!!!
No matter which Ebook you purchase, the prices are the best at Amazon.com!!!Buy Ectaco jetBook e-Book Reader - Red!

I didn't like the idea of a "cover" for my Kindle 2. I wanted to be able to hold the Kindle in my hands and take advantage of the small size. This case does exactly that. It has 4 elastic straps to hold the kindle in place. You can use them to secure the Kindle, but they aren't too tight to make it difficult to remove the Kindle. Whether you keep the Kindle in the case, or just use it for storage and protection, it provides the best of both worlds.

As with many cases, there was a slight smell to the case when it arrived. I was able to easily get rid of this smell with a couple sprays of Febreeze. I probably would have given it a 4.5 star if I could because the zippers are little stiff. I'm hoping they will loosen up just a little, but they are very manageable as is.

This case may not be for everyone, but it fit my needs just right!Buy Amazon kindle 2 CaseCrown Double Memory Foam Pouch Case With A Front Pocket - Nylon Style!
