Received my lighted cover yesterday and put it to use last night, I am very pleased with its operation. The glare is minimal and much better than the clip on lights I have tried, in fact after several minutes of reading it is not a distraction at all. I was surprised at how much heavier the lighted cover was compared to the basic cover that came with the 505. Quite surprising in fact but after a few minutes it was not an issue, feels more like a real book IMHO. While it is more expensive than a basic clip on light I console myself to the fact that the cover itself is superior to the basic cover and i like the Black, it looks professional so if I carry the book to meetings (Which I am inclined to do depending on the length and boredom factor) it simulates a high end PDA and no one thinks about the fact that I have it open. So far so good. I read at least 1.5 hours a night so I will be paying attention to the battery life. Any one sitting on the fence regarding picking one up should make the jump.
