Any progress on this front lately? I want a light that can be built into either the reader or the case so I don't have to carry it along. See I currently have a standard clamp light, but I can't carry that attached to the case all the time as it would be cumbersome and I don't want to carry it in my pocket all the time.

I wish the Sony had side lights like my old Palm m505 did. It was cool. If I could figure it out and do it without mutilating my reader, I'd open the thing up and install some myself, but I can't figure out how I'd get them to turn on and off even if I did manage to install them.
