Gifts for the Kindle user that has it all

Do you live with someone that buys themselves all the toys they want? And so when it comes time for giving gifts, you're stuck?

Here's some ideas for the Kindle user that has it all:

1. Kindle. If they have a Kindle 1, they will definitely appreciate an upgrade to the new Kindle. It looks sleeker, the pages turn faster and the menus and buttons work better. (It also has text to speech which I had great fun playing with but don't enjoy using.)

2. Covers. You can't have too many covers or jackets – it's like having multiple jackets to wear or multiple pairs of shoes. I reviewed Kindle covers. I got the M-edge Latitude Jacket but wish I also had the OCTO Faux Leather Slip Cover for when I was carrying my Kindle inside my laptop bag.

3. Kindle DX. The Kindle DX has a much, much bigger screen. While most Kindle users like the small form factor of the Kindle 2, the Kindle DX has a lot more screen space which makes reading magazines and newspapers (or textboks) easier. They could keep the Kindle DX at home and use their current Kindle on the road.

4. A light. What surprises most non-Kindle users is that it's not backlit. (It's not backlit because then it wouldn't be as easy on your eyes as paper.)  A light helps when reading in bed or on the airplane. This clip-on light is one of the most popular ones. This M-edge light that fits into the Kindle M-Edge cover.

5. Amazon gift card. Kindle users buy all their books from Amazon, so giving them an Amazon gift card is as good as giving them their favorite books!

6. Chargers. Like an extra power adaptor or a car charger. I keep one power adaptor in my bedroom and one in my suitcase.

Plus Kindle users are likely to like other geeky gifts …

Any other ideas for the Kindle user that has it all?

Good luck!
