Amazon's Kindle Lighted Leather Cover

Our new design seamlessly incorporates a reading light into the cover, so you can carry your Kindle wherever you go and always have a reading light with you. Simply pull the light out to illuminate Kindle when you need it, and slide it away to be invisible when you don't. And since the light draws its power from Kindle, no batteries are needed.

The contoured, pebble-grain leather (available in 7 different colors) keeps your Kindle safe and secure, while the soft charcoal microfiber interior protects the screen from scratches. The cover is designed to fold back, so you can read comfortably with just one hand.


The built-in, retractable LED light pulls out to illuminate Kindle, and slides away when not in use.


Never Be Without a Light

Our all-new Kindle cover features an integrated, retractable LED reading light that lets you read comfortably anytime, anywhere. The high-quality LED light illuminates Kindle's paper-like display, adding brightness without adding glare.

A permanent part of the cover, the reading light is located in the top right-hand corner of the back cover. When needed, simply pull the light out and it automatically illuminates, eliminating the need for a separate power switch. To turn the light off, slide it back in to the corner of the cover.

Since the light is powered by Kindle's battery, no batteries are needed.

How It Works

In addition to securing Kindle in place, our new hinge system conducts electricity from Kindle's battery to the reading light - when Kindle is attached to the hinge, an electrical connection is formed that powers the light.

The cover's hinge points are gold-plated, to ensure a reliable electrical connection. Gold is used because of its ability to make good electrical contact even with low force, and for its corrosion resistance.


Secure Your Kindle in Four Easy Steps


Read Comfortably with One Hand


Reading with the cover on, you can easily access Kindle's navigation features and power switch, while the rounded edges offer a perfect fit in your hands. The cover is designed to fold back, so you can read comfortably with just one hand. And the retractable reading light is easily accessible with the cover open or folded back.


On the Go

This compact cover is perfect for taking Kindle wherever you go. The sleek leather ensures the ultimate fit and protection, without adding bulk or weight. Our patent-pending hinge system secures Kindle in place, and an elastic strap keeps the cover firmly closed for maximum screen protection. Simply attach Kindle to the hinge, apply the strap, and rest assured it will stay securely in place even when you're on the go.

You'll never be without a reading light, and since the light draws its power from Kindle, no batteries are needed.



Amazon’s official Kindle lighted cover features contoured, pebble-grain leather available in 7 different colors.

Read Kindle easily in the dark with Amazon's revolutionary, all-new lighted leather cover.



The hinge points are gold-plated to ensure a reliable electrical connection. No batteries required.


Read easily with one hand, with or without the light on.


Protect your Kindle on the go, and never be without a reading light

5 out of 5 stars Why not take advantage of design features?   September 6, 2010
Fred

So the Kindle has these side slots that allows it to be attached to a case, and the design also powers a built in light? Booyah, I am all over that. Why not take full advantage of the proprietary design, especially since the cost is actually less than what I would pay for other covers and an attachable light!

So I tried it out in Burnt Orange--lovely color, matches my beagles perfectly. I am very pleased with the light. Previously, I used a headlamp, (Black Diamond is the best for reading) but that adds the weight to my head and does get tiring after awhile. This light provides sufficient coverage and I love that I will never have to worry about the battery.

The cover does double the weight of the Kindle, which is not at all a problem for my night reading since that usually entails some kind of propping. And it's not a problem for transport since I can easily carry the weight combined in my bag and it still feels lighter (and less "stuffed") than the bag did with some of the books I would carry.

Besides the cool features, the case feels very secure and provides good protection. When I want to take advantage of the Kindle's light weight, I, simply, Remove the Cover. Problem solved. I then get to take full advantage of Kindle's other appealing feature--super light weight and slim design.

I did a whole bunch of research comparing sleeves to covers and all the variants. In the end, had to go with this one, just made the most sense as far as full utilization goes.



5 out of 5 stars Pricey but nice Kindle cover   September 5, 2010

I am pleased with my purchase of this cover. I was a bit skeptical about the light being bright enough but it really is a good light. I am able to use it to read in a completely dark room without any difficulty. The light is powered directly off the kindle so it doesn't need a battery but it won't turn on if the Kindle is in sleep mode or off. The inside of the cover is soft and protective. The only drawback is that there aren't any elastic bands to hold the upper and lower outer corners of the Kindle in place, it is only the held in place by the Kindle hinge system. I worry that I have to be careful or the hinges may break off. I like that I am able to bend the cover all the way back when open. Overall, I feel the cover seems well constructed and a good purchase.

I'm brand new to Kindle, so can't compare to anything else. I gulped at the price of the cover, but wanted protection & a light, so went ahead & got it with my new Kindle.
My Kindle feels very secure in this cover. Both the Hot Pink leather outside & the felted fabric inside feels very expensive. I fold the front cover all the way back to read & it fits nicely in my hand.
I love having the built-in light. The light is plenty bright enough to read even in a dark room. Sometimes there is a little glare in the upper right corner, but a slight tilt makes it read-able.



4 out of 5 stars very functional   September 5, 2010

I opted for the "light option" of this amazon case,for ease of use.
I didn't want to worry about carrying/finding an external book light,batteries, how does it attach to the cover etc.
I agree that the light is obviously lighter in the top corner,duh!!!Most book lights will do this to a certain extent.
Compared to how handy it is having all in one i still think its a preferable option.
Only gripe is i don't eat cows,and would have liked a non leather option.



5 out of 5 stars Data to compare colors and weights, with and without light   September 5, 2010
abycats (Manhattan, NY, USA)
14 out of 14 found this review helpful

Have a good scale and have now seen all cover colors, so here's data to help you pick. VERY well made cover.

Weights are for the cover only, not including the Kindle:
Cover without light -- 170 grams or 6 ounces
Cover WITH light -- 240 grams or 8-1/2 ounces
Only you know whether the 2-1/2 ounce difference in weight is worth carrying all the time to have a light always at hand.

The most accurate depiction of the cover colors is the photograph at the bottom of the sales page.
Burnt Orange -- same shade as a basketball
Burgundy Red -- closer to a vibrant brick red as it has no purple overtone
Steel Blue -- pure grey blue which shows well on web page
Hot Pink -- deeper shade than it appears anywhere but photograph
Green -- picture a Granny Smith apple
Brown -- very deep brown, not a chocolate color
