my problem was that I find I often what a light. consequently I bought a cheap clip on light. this ran on the small hearing aid batteries and didn't clip onto reader but only onto navitech case. it ran out of battery quickly and the light was not great.
so back to the drawing board and after reading various comments on here I took the plunge and paid for the sony lighted cover. I was sceptical as I felt it was overpriced.

I have now had cover for a few weeks and love it. the light is great and the fact that it uses ordinary AAA batteries makes life easier. i have not had to change battery yet. the cover is small and fits neatly into my jacket pocket(whereas navitech didn't due to bulky clasp). it feels sturdy and I quite like the feel of it. i clip the stylus over the spine and it has not fallen out yet. I don't miss a clasp and as I said above find they just bulk up the case.
so all in all I think sony has done well with this case albeit it probably should have cost £20 rather than £39
I agree with you, although yesterday I got it out of the cover and it felt so light and tiny I´m thinking about getting a silicone, a Verso light and a pouch of some kind to carry it. Whenever I´m not using the light it feels bulky, plus the fact that is all plastic makes me wish for a lighted cover like the one for the Kindle http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-...7382153&sr=1-2

But, for the time being I´m out of money so it´ll have to wait!
