Do you read at night? You will either need a regular light, or clip light.
I just checked my Amazon account and it says I can't cancel it is being processed to ship.  So maybe I will get it next week after all. I was afraid they wouldn't ship until next week. For 3 days the account said I could cancel, so it was not being shipped until today (I hope). |
ouch... that does seem rather expensive for a small light.
I have a small lamp near my bed so I wont need a light for then - not sure about other situations as I've not tried an e-book before.
I think if you want a cheaper solution then you could try the headlight option as Prof-Crash suggests - but you could then blind whoever interrupts you as you look up! I have two friends who have been camping once but have a lot of camping equipment and they love their headlights! lol
I should think if you use a sturdy enough backboard for the cover then it would hold a light?
ie: use a hardback book cover which could be reinforced with more card or even use a slim piece of wood as the base of the hand-made cover - add some wadding or foam which would add some cushioning to protect the kindle and I should think that would hold up a lamp rather well.
Maybe once you've received the Kindle you'll be able to see a better option - it's hard to guess when it's not right in front of you - maybe hold off until then to decide on what light?
