Was really tempted to buy one but have then found out that there's no backlight on it.

Has anyone bought one of the covers to use with it that includes a light?  Any good or not?

I tend to read with the light on, as I would with a paper book Wink

Some of the covers with built-in lights look good and might be what you're after, but not tried them.

Thinking about getting one of these for the missus this Christmas.

She likes reading the "classics" and I see lots of sites offering these for free as they are out of copyright so I might buy it just for this reason however...

A quick search on Ebay has people selling entire collections of current popular authors for £5-£10 where as on amazon these books cost £5 each!

What's the catch?

That Ebay is even worse with pirated books then it is with pirated dvd's etc maybe?

Perhaps if Amazon didn't sell Kindle books for more than the price of hardcover books there wouldn't be quite the demand for snide copies.

It does tilt me when the kindle version is more expensive than the normal ones yes. But kindle has some really good books for 49p or just over, no excuse not to get the odd one from there.

Some books include photographs or illustrations. How does Kindle handle that?

Kindle daily deals now available.   They've been about in the States for a while apparently but now they're available in the UK.  Just go to the Kindle Store on Amazon, click the blue banner on the right.
