Lightwedge?

shighfield · 12-03-2008, 01:42 PM

With the http://booksonboard.com/index.php?BO...uct&PRODUCT=35 Cybook basic. What (if any) is the best lightwedge to buy? http://www.lightwedge.com/

Main usage for the light is reading in bed. I'm currently using a EBW1150, but my eyes start to hurt after 30 mins.

Thanks,

I just use a plain old-fashioned reading lamp, same as I use for paper books.

I'm not sure you will be happy with a lightwedge - I tried a Lightwedge-Imitation (cost 10€) that I'm sure is not the same quality as the original one but uses the same concept.
It works really well on Paper but the problem with the Cybook is that - the wedge being bigger than the screen itself - there is a distance between the wedge and the display so the screen doesn't get illuminated enough, the wedge shines (scratches shine especially bright) but the screen stays rather dark.

My guess is that you will be happier with a normal reading-lamp (it's cheaper aswell

)

Thanks for the reply! I think I'm going to buy a paperback for the first time in 8 years (Palm's before the EBW) and see if my wife freaks out with the bedside lamp on.

I purchased the lightwedge paperback version and in IMHO it is unusable for the Cybook, so stay away.

On Amazon.com, if you type in
Mighty Brite Xtra Flex 2, (black) there is a video review of this neat little lamp. Scroll down and look for the review by Rene Hasprunar
Very short, but very informational, and shows exactly what you can expect.

Interesting. But, I guess you really need to use the cover to have a place to clip it to.

BTW: Does this guy put his Kindle in the case upsidedown/backwards? How does it stay in there like that?

Yes, any cover should do. My m-edge is perfect for it. In looking at the video again, I'm not sure why he's loaded it like that!
