Just got back from Target. They did have the capstone light there for $20. On my way to it though I saw a stand of some other book lights by a company called pathways. In the mix down at the bottom was a $10 e-reader light. I picked it up and brought it with me to compare when I found the capstone one. Upon getting to the e reader section I found the capstone one to look oddly similar. After closer inspection they both were indeed the same light with just a few tiny discrepancies.

Capstone - $20, had metal looking hinges, had a soft carrying case for the light, spelled the low setting "low"

Pathways - $10, had plastic hinges the same color as the unit, had no carrying case, spelled the low setting "lo" and came in black or white

I pulled them both out of the box and inspected them both completely. They are manufactured by the same place most definitely. The boxes even had the same descriptions on them point for point and bullet for bullet.

So anyway, my point is, if anyone wants to get a good e reader light and you don't care about the case, there is one for $10 at Target that should suit your fancy.

Now that I got my light, time to look for a case for the 950.
Anyone know what the necessity for some kind of screen protector is for one of these?? It doesn't seem to scratch easily, but want to make sure.


Abqpete - Thanks for the info, it at least makes me feel a bit better that sony wasn't just blatantly trying to rip people off. That does seem to be their sony style
