I recently got the Amazon kindle. I noticed how there is no backlight. I was thinking of getting a reading light so I am able to read kindle books in the dark. Is there a certain reading light from Amazon that I can buy to attach to the kindle?

I like the Amazon kindle, but I heard Sony has them, too. Could someone help me find the best and affordable one?

If better ones come out later, what makes them better than the ones now?

I just got an amazon kindle and as I am reading a book on it, there is a footnote. I try to scroll to it but it just skips over it and defines the word. It won’t let me click on the little number. So how do I view the footnote?

I love Amazon Kindle but I will be away from USA for some time and was wondering if I would be able to connect Kindle to the network via regular home network via wireless connection.
Thanks for your help.

I have never used an Amazon Kindle but looking at their prices I see that they cost as much as some Notebook computers and they are more expensive than a lot of netbooks. What does a Kindle do that a comparable price notebook computer does not do? It seems to me that a cheaper netbook or notebook can do all that a KIndle would do but so much more. Please advise if you have experience with a Kindle.
