Got a Kindle and find that I still have the habit of reaching to the
upper
right hand corner to turn the page, *G*! Its that much like reading a
'real' book.

I occasionally start to turn my Kindle over to read the next page.

I bought the LED light that clips to the cover (both separate
purchases) and that works well, too. One or two of the LEDs can operate
at
a time (if that sentence makes sense) and doesn't disturb my spouse.

You can go to their web page, mightybright.com, and order an AC
adapter for your lamp. That'll save a lot of batteries when you're
using it near a power receptacle. I ended up buying the little
clip-on base, as well. It's weighted by a magnet and sits nicely on
the mattress so I can read in bed without clipping the light to the
Kindle.

Actually, I bought two more lights (purple and silver), three
adapters, three bases, and a large and a small key ring light. I'm a
sucker for flashlights and book lights.

Thanks for the link to the AC adapter. You're right it'll save batteries
