LIGHT for prs-505 @ TARGET (32 or 16)
Found em in Compton (on alameda ) and Long Beach (on cherry) both have @ a dozen a piece. Currently for $32 but heard other targets have em for $16. Didn't want to wait and miss a deal so I picked up one

Got one in Charlotte, NC, @ Rea Rd. for $32. There were about 5 left.
Although, using it last night, that frosted bit on the back of the light makes it a bit blurry to read. Is is just me? |

I'm being patient waiting for them to go down to $16; at the two Target's I've checked this week have six each- the same as three weeks ago (priced at $32 for those 3 weeks). Not exactly flying off the shelves. And last week a different Target still had five of them at $45 dollars.

I almost got one for $32 but then I noticed how it worked.. it seemed to me that the frosted glass may make it a bit more blurry when reading (?). I will wait and if they still have them at $16 I will get one.

actually i think that the frosty glass is on purpose. (in case no one has pointed it out, sorry )
i believe the frosty look only spreads the light out and honestly i dont see the major problem with the clarity of the screen. its not like i am reading comics or a book with lots of pictures. wait, that would be a comic book, my bad. |

Are these the eBook covers with light or the light that attaches to the regular eBook and its cover?

This is the Sony PRSA-CL1 - Cover with built in light wedge. The PRS-505 slides in just like it does on the original cover. It's just heavier because of the light assembly. It takes 2 AAA batteries which are included. The plastic light wedge fits over your reading area, and for me provides NICE light to read by. You can see here on the Sony website - I included the link for you to see......it mentions that they don't sell it anymore, but I thought you could check out the picture. http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665480080 bookratt |

An extra would be very nice to have - my original is very scratched even though it's always in the case.
