4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, January 11, 2009

Like most all Kindle owners I quickly discovered that although the Kindle itself is great, the provided cover left much to be desired. After perusing the available covers several times, I finally settled on this one. I must confess, it is much classier and "rich looking" than I imagined it would be from the photos alone. The light is terrific- nice not to have to hassle with some third-party clip-on light, and the pen holder and notepad holder are great additions too. My one complaint is that sometimes it appears that the Kindle is not held in as securely as I'd like it to be. It seems that the tabs could have been a little smaller or somewhat closer together- providing a more secure fit. So far, my Kindle has stayed securely in place, so perhaps my concern is more personal imagination than fact. In any case, I'd reccomend this cover to anyone who likes the "Executive look" with the built-in light- the craftsmanship and convenience are well-worth the extra cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've seen the light, April 24, 2009

I received a Kindle from my husband last year and I immediately loved it. I took it everywhere and thought I was in heaven, except for one annoying thing. I couldn't really read it at night. Even in a room with a lamp I just could not get comfortable. I looked around for a light that would solve the problem and only came across clip on lights, which I abhor. Then I found Periscope. They make book lights contained within book covers and they make them for every kind of book. Kindle included, thankfully. I bought it, slipped my Kindle into it, and have never looked back! It protects and lights my Kindle. It even includes a pad of paper for when I take notes. I can't say enough about this wonderfully elegant solution!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea!, April 22, 2009

If you have a Kindle you need a cover and you need a light in order to fully enjoy the Kindle experience in low light situations. The Periscope solution is ingenious because it combines both in one package design! To the best of my knowledge (and research) this is the only product of its kind that provides both in one package. The LED light is contained in the spine of the cover, so it's tucked out of sight until it's needed. I recommend the Periscope unit to any Kindle owner. It's terrific!
