DXG has TTS, yes, I have checked. K4NT does not, of course.

So far I'm torn whether or not to try clip-on lights for the DXG. It was an impulse buy. I'll keep it, of course, but I don't know what its use is going to be yet.

In the Kindle DX thread (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=50) ThomasC shared this tip as a good one for the big DX screen:

I tried the small fonts on PW and nope I can't see it. I wear glasses (older eyes) and I can read it without my glasses too. I an nearsighted. So between the built in clip on light and the nice dark fonts on the K4BNT I am quite happy with it. I put a few strips of the fabric tape on the back of the cover so it won't slip off my bed at night. Works fine.
Yes, I agree with these points. The integrated lighted cover and the nice blackness level on K4BNT have made it the best solution so far for me as well. Personally I haven't had issues with cover slippiness, but good that you found a solution! Thanks for the tip.

I have had it almost one year, is it going to just die quietly now?
I haven't come across that. I use PW very little, though.
