I mostly read in bed lying down on the side. Does anyone know of a good reading lamp for use with the 302...

Thanks!
Hi Fragile, et al,

I tried the host port and the light came on for a few seconds, and then turned off. I'm not sure why. A USB stick was recognized and remained accessible for as long as it was plugged in.

I bought a reading light from eBay:

- the sale is ended, but the seller has relisted them. The listing doesn't show that it has a connection for an AC adapter, but I found the batteries lasted several weeks before I recharged them just on principle. I actually bought 3, and all have been of similar quality and performance.

The light works well, and the clip is good. I attach mine to the lower right-hand corner, with the cover on and it grips fine.

Cheers,
