Anyone try the new cover for the Sony Reader?

Don’t have one. I have used one of the Phorm Light Voyager Book Lights for many years. Good quality of light but it is heavy as it uses a handful of AA’s. Not too convenient as a clip-on for the Kindle though given its weight. Does make a decent little desk lamp though if you are reading the Kindle flat on a table top.

I considered buying one of the LED flex lights but for the rare occasions when I read my Kindle away from a lamp I just use one of my many Petzl Tikka headlamps.

I have one and like it a lot, although I use mine with a Bookeen Cybook Gen 3.

The only objection I have to it is that the light tends to pivot too easily around the base, which is annoying when clipping it horizontally to the bottom left of the cybook. That’s the best spot for it on that device.

I like mine a lot. The nicest thing is it has two brightness levels and my previous light, made by the same company, was actually too bright. I use the lower level find it much easier on my eyes. Very even light distribution and the gooseneck can be manipulated into any position. Will also sit flat on a desk so you can use it as an area light.

It is quite nice - bright and the right color to make reading an eink screen easy. Although I prefer the Mighty Bright XtraFlex Duet as it gets a more even light distribution on the screen.
