I've got the "bug light" and I'm not sure anything but an extremely sophisticated and expensive light built into the case could compete.
The reason being erm, I'll draw a (bad) picture - The light from it is very even - except where the orange bits are, you have to position the light so that it goes all over the Cybook, but the orange bit isn't over, or it'll reflect. |

Sony does not have, and never has had, an "eReader format". The Sony Reader's native format is "BBeB". "eReader" as a book format only ever refers to the format now owned by Fictionwise.

Granted I wish I had known this before I bought a book from eReader.com, and when I downloaded I coudn't figure out how to choose the format. Oh well, the author sent me a Sony version so it wasn't a loss. BOb |

Nope - JSWolf's the one with a bee in his bonnet about it, not me . I only mention it when there's potential for confusion. Doesn't bother me in the least if you want to call your Sony Reader an "eReader", as long as you're aware that it's NOT the same as the "eReader" format.

I agree. If my booklight I use for my Reader runs out of juice while I'm reading in bed, I can just grab the flashlight off of my bedside table. I don't have to plug in the whole device and wait for it to charge.
