I figured someone would be able to measure the lighted-case's draw. So, if someone read after dark for about two hours a night, it might last about 10 days (I don't know much about battery recovery when not used or if it would be of any consequence).

Now I just have to weigh it on a scale and have someone weight the non-light case for more details. I weighed the lighted cover just a bit ago.

Lighted Cover weighs:

7 3/4 ounces or 222 grams

Just for kicks, I weighed my Kindle3. It weighed 7 7/8 ounces or 224 grams

I figure for hiking/backpacking, again, a case or shutter that protects the screen is still necessary. I guess a sheet of titanium might be a nice shutter if one can find such a sheet.
