I think the lighted cover works wonderfully. The screen is fairly uniformly lighted, and I find it helps me read even in daylight hours. (We have a less-than-sunny house.) The lighted wedge never gets in my way, and I like the little extra heft and size the lighted cover gives the reader. Makes it feel more like I'm reading a hardcover book, you know.

As for that PageLight, I think it would be more trouble than it's worth. You'd have to move it every time you wanted to press a page-turn button. You'd also have to find a way to hold it flat against your reader while using it. I tried using a travel-sized stand-along lightwedge - so basically the same thing as the PageLight - and it was such a bother that I just wouldn't read with it.

I love your avatar! Obviously I'm a huge art nouveau fan..
