While waiting to order at NAEB, I've surfed for book lights, and I came across this interesting data comparing incandescent and LED lights. http://www.bookmatestore.com/book-lights.htm

Booklights using incandescent lights need to have the bulbs, apx $2 apiece, replaced every 20-40 hours of use.

"...compare the cost of replacement incandescent bulbs to rated life expectancies of 30,000 hours or more for LED's: Assuming each incandescent bulb lasted at least 40 hours, you would have to buy 750 replacement bulbs to get as many hours use out of a light that used incandescent bulb as the LED design, which would cost you $1,500, not counting shipping and handling! Clearly, paying a little more for an LED light could be quickly recouped if you use your light regularly."

Has any one used a book light with the Cybook? Is there any light that does or does not fit correctly?
