I was reading the Amazon review (2nd one) and he said the DX leather cover has magnets that keep it closed? What?

I returned my "Pathway Brite-spot 3 Brightbook" booklight because it wouldn't stay in place, it kept drooping. Too bad because it lights up the Kindle really well. I had one for my Kindle 3 that worked fine for a year and then started drooping a bit. I bought a "Pathway Multi taskbright" tasklight (flexible neck) sturdy clip and magnetic free-standing base. Will that magnet hurt the ereader? I have read conflicting opinion on electronics and magnets.

I had the same tasklight (with a magnet) on my sony ereader and it didn't hurt it.

I had the Mighty Brite and had to replace several times because the gooseneck lost all shape after several months. Could have been good if it lasted.
