Absolutely no screen issues too, good contrast and even the lower PPI resolution is perfectly okay.

I look forward to finding some uses for yet another Kindle!  |
Very nice review fearindex. Thanks for sharing this Mate!
As far as reading lights go, this is the best one I have ever used on my DXG;

The wide coverage and, most importantly, the rotary on/off dimmer switch gives you good, even light coverage. Also, the 3xaaa batteries seem to last forever. I read in the dark ~0.5-1 hr just about every evening and after ~2 months my batteries are still ok. Other, single or double led booklights I have used in the past seemed to go through batteries quite quickly. I'm not sure why this 6-light one is so much better but it might have something to do with the dimmer switch allowing you to use less total battery power.
Sorry for the ozzie link but this is where I got mine. You may be able to locally source one at a Radio Shack/Tandy shop. Maybe Ebay also but I have not seen any listed that unclude the dimmer variable switch (most only have on/off and maybe 2x power settings).
Cheers,
Tom
