Recommendations for Libre Reading Light
I searched the forum but found nothing. Do the usual clip lights (like the Mighty Bright) clip securely to the Libre/Jetbook? I'm also look at the Kandle, but I can't tell if that form factor will work on the edge of the Libre.

I cannot recommend the Kandle for the jetBook/Lite/Libre although it works well on my Pocketbook 360. The LCD screen seems more picky about the angle of the light. I think a light with a flexible neck would work best for the jetBook.

Just a thought. It seems that most of the ear attached light gadgets use more expensive button batteries which last only 16 hours or so. Or the ones that take AA batteries would seem to be rather heavy and some folks complain of the discomfort. And the sony M-case is for the 6 inch Touch edition costing all together about $60 for the case and the light.
I saw this item in Amazon. Not as cute, but probably more practical. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...ROQWZ&v=glance (Beam and Read light- 3 LED) Has anyone tried this? It uses AA batteries and lasts 120 hours. |

I think wearing anything would bug me.

Yes, I saw that.
I was wondering how many in the forum have tried the earlight. I guess if you are used to having a bluetooth device attached to the ear it wouldn't bother you much. I was looking around at what's available. I think any of the clip on lights would be difficult since the Libre/Jetbook doesn't have much room on the perimeter to clip something on to without interfering with access to the right sided buttons or the left side slider. I don't know if the sony case with the elastic in the corners would cover up any of the buttons and in any case personally I like the feel of being able to hold the reader in one hand and turn the pages with my thumb. On the same note, I saw on ebay a seller was selling a similar neck worn 2LED light which uses 3 AAA batteries for only $6.95 free shipping (supposedly lasts 40 hrs). I have a similar type of device sold by Lowe's that is meant as a headlight and they are very light, and I think it works better worn around the neck since it would not move around as much as a headlight and also more comfortable. |

Thanks for the link.
Yes, it does look nice. I think maybe if I were to travel and wanted to keep things as compact as possible, I would get this setup. Maybe it has to do with the relatively low price of the libre that the thought of spending $60 for the case and light seems high. |
