The new Amazon Kindle Touch Lighted Cover is a huge step forward for the world's most popular eReader. Not only does it protect your Kindle better than past models, but it also has greatly improved illumination quality. Lets take a quick look at just a few of the positive changes made to the new cover.

The first thing that really jumps out about the new Kindle Touch lighted cover is how the Kindle fits into. In the previous model there were some hooks and levers to attach it to the Kindle, and also provide power. Now it is so much better. You simply press the Kindle Touch into the lighted cover and away you go!

But that means something else good, too. Because you have pressed it inside, the Kindle Touch lighted cover now completely surrounds the Kindle Touch leaving nothing exposed. This is a vast improvement. You'll feel so much more like you are really holding a book rather than a device between covers. This is because this new mounting method for the Kindle Touch lighted cover makes the Kindle Touch and the lighted cover look and feel like they are one unit. Of course, the cover is made from nice leather and has the very soft microfiber interior to keep your Kindle Touch looking like new for years to come.

Of course, no discussion of the Kindle Touch lighted cover is complete without discussing the light itself. This is where this new cover really shines. (pun noted). Compared to the old slide-out bendy plastic arm up in the corner of the case, the new Kindle Touch lighted cover has a pivoting arm in which the LED light is mounted. The light is at the top and center of the page and is no longer like a third arm waving in the wind. Rather, the light is inside the borders of the lighted cover making it less likely to get bumped or broken. But the most important part of the new design for the cover is that the light is positioned farther away from the eInk page, so the light shines more broad and even across the surface. The new design also makes it so much easier to use while lying down facing in either direction since it doesn't poke out.

When you're all finished reading, you'll disciver another great design plus of the new Kindle Touch lighted cover. Simply close the front of the cover and the motion seamlessly returns the light to the retracted and off position. And as a final bonus, Amazon has made the new Kindle Touch and it's lighted cover much lighter, so reading is even easier than before.

The new eReaders from Amazon are wonderfully remade and are sure to be greatly enhanced by the the Kindle Touch lighted coverin look, feel, safety and function.
