Other lights I've tried seem awkward and spotty by comparison. They make the screen reflect focal points as distractingly as a balding relative's skull.

Is there any other light as slim and efficient? If so, please link.

If not, then those who dislike their official covers should think of me whenever they decide to sell.

I'm not thrilled with the construction and durability of the case itself, but I crave that integrated light. Nothing's more evocative in darkness than perfectly lit eInk and a slightly archaic font.
Amazon has the pink one in stock now. Not cheap, but worth it. I fully agree with you, it's a great gadget.
