So I am happy reading on that. Yes the PW cover is nicer, but the lighting is better for me right now with the new baby. Also I do have to hit the little switch to turn on, but I don't have to do that to turn off it does it automatically when I stop turning pages. But I will use both readers.
I do want to make the outside of the cover more grippy, non-slip. Any ideas? The cover is slick, not like the PW cover.
By the way it is the 2013 model by the description you gave before, not the older model. But the light is much better than the clip-ons I have tried in the past, I have a closet full of them.  |
Yes, I think all versions of the Kindle 4 official lighted cover light are pretty bright - some are just a little different in brightness and hue still as I've posted and linked to above. If I recall my Kindle 3 lighted cover has a more subdued light in comparison, but I haven't checked for while.
Also, great to hear you found a solution to keep you going at least until PW3 or whichever becomes the next solution. Personally I'd love an upgraded non-front-lit e-ink Kindle from Amazon. I would be so all over that, but until then I expect to use the $69 Kindle as my main reader.
For the grippier cover, I unfortunately don't have any suggestions. Some have put DecalGirl on the cover, but removing the will also hurt the leather, so tread carefully if you attach something to the covers and that matters to you. Personally I just flip the front cover behind the Kindle when reading and that felt there feels nice in the hands, plenty grippy for me.
