Finally, an integrated (sorta) PRS505 reading light!

[NatCh]

MobileReader porkupan has pointed out to us that Sony has quietly released a PRS505 cover with an integrated "LightWedge" style reading light. I should note here that igorsk found these earlier, but the Waterstone page lacked a picture (and description) so we didn't really know what we were looking at. The picture that porkupan found, really makes it clear, though.

Make the most of your Reader Digital Book experience with the PRSA-CL1 lighted Reader Digital Book cover. Intended for use with the PRS-505 Reader, this innovative cover and light combo allows you to read in a dimly lit area without disturbing the person next to you. Ideal for home and travel, this Reader accessory features two brightness levels and long battery life.

A convenient solution
Protect your PRS505 with the cover and custom designed light, available all in one accessory.

Long Power life
Maximum 38 hours at the standard brightness level1

2 Brightness levels
Allows you to choose the perfect setting for your reading pleasure.

Some quick specs on it:

• Dimensions (Approx.) : 7.0375" x 6" x .97"
• Weight (Approx.) : 8.47 oz without Reader, 1lb 0.9 oz with Reader (not supplied)

Power

• Battery Life (Approx.) : Maximum of 38 Hours at standard brightness level1

I suppose that's about the same as the combined price of a cover and a standard LightWedge would be, so it's probably not all that surprising a number.
