or a Pagan holiday co-opted by the Roman Catholic church? I did! Pretty sweet? For those who have a Kindle, what accessories do you recommend? I don't really care to personalize my Kindle, but things like covers, reading lights, etc. that you would recommend would be appreciated.

The cover with the reading light is great for reading in bed. I also purchased headphone so I can listen to the book. I was told they have a waterproff cover for reading in the bathtub. Do people still take baths??
If you received a Kindle this morning the one possible bad feature of it is, you may read more.

My wife gave me one early. In the last three weeks, I have discovered the joy of FREE books (e.g., Beeke, Phillips, Sproul, etc.).
You really need to check the daily specials. Digital books often come online for free for a short period of time (often only for one day). If you download them, you get them. Otherwise, they revert to their regular prices. Secular books on Amazon are often $9.99. But Zondervan books are typically MUCH higher.
I picked up a GREAT case at Best Buy for $35 (M-Edge). It is light weight, faux leather, devoid of extraneous junk, and has a VERY solid protective cover with a soft micro lining. My wife uses the same thing on her Kobo.

I may be ready for a change soon, a big change.
I'm out of the loop! What's the big plan?

I did! I have had the Kindle app on my iPad and iPhone for a while now. Got the real thing for Christmas - will be handy when I just want to read in bed without the backlight shining on my wife 
. Planning on getting the lighted case.
Bought Augustine's confessions and to hear the "other side", also bought "Arminian Theology: Myths and realities" by Olson. Not finding any myths thus far

I got one! I bought some books: Machen, Sproul, Hart, etc... archive.org has alot of public domain stuff in kindle format! I love it so far! I also got: Simpson's beer glasses, Star Wars cookie cutters, a new irish tie (very nice red), books of my choosing from wts books (bavinck bio, princeton history volumes, the always reformed volume by R. Scott Clark, and the works of John Frame on dvd for Logos!).

Nothing yet. Just the distant rumblings in my mind and heart. And no, Josh, that rumbling isn't my stomach.
The HCSB is also available for free. It's more readable and modern than the ESV though I know most here prefer the ESV (outside of the KJV).
Maybe I'll grab that too just for reference. I read the KJV.

I received one this year from my terrific wife. I love it! I cannot put it down.

Got my free ESV Bible. Also Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners are free. And Foxe's Book of Martyrs, and several George Mueller titles, and several Luther titles. I'm sure there's more, but you have to dig a little to find them.

I've heard that there are problems with some texts on Kindle: misspellings, typographical errors, words hyphenated in weird places - stuff like that. Has anyone run into these problems?
