I have ordered PW, but it looks like I will return it/resell it if it has lower contrast than KT. I still need light for reading in bus and in my uneven lit room so I need advice.
Is there any alternative to geniune lighted cover for K4? I used KT and while geniune Amazon cover is nice to hold and it has a feel of quality about it, I find it a bit expensive for a 69$ device. I considered buying used from Amazon, there are couple of those for around 30$ and it states that they are like new condition. Did anyone bought one of those, are there realy in good condition?
If not, is there any similar alternative, preferably with curved light, not that 90 degrees LED that shines directly to eyes.
