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:

Dick Smith LED e-Reader Flexible Kindle / Booklight

.
I use my DXG for .pdf books, for instruction books for music. I bought some .mobi music books that I want to convert to .pdf, but not sure how Calibre will handle it. It never has worked for me to convert to .pdf. Or .pdf to .mobi.

Yes, I saw the light that you referenced, unfortunately not here in US. I wish the light had variable settings on my cover, but the masking tape over the lens is working for me. I have always done that on my clip on book lights too. The goosenecks always go limp after so long. You always have to adjust them too. I should have bought the cover with the light long ago for the K3, they stay in the same place, no adjustment each time. Too bad they don't make those for the DXG.

The DXG is a nice reader, but I am hooked on the K4BNT for now.
