And one more question -- when not using the light, how is it reading with the cover on? do you simply leave the light-wedge in place over the screen of the reader, or do you take the reader out of the cover?
Thanks for any insights/tips you care to share with me concerning this cover/light.

I almost always leave the light/lens in place. The only issue I have had with it was the other day I was trying to read outside in the direct sunlight and the sun was directly over head. The light lens is slightly more glossy than the reader screen, so there was a little more glare than without the lens, but all I did was slightly tilt the screen so the glare wasn't directed at my face. Even without the light lens, there is still glare from bright light sources on the reader screen. As far as the weight... It is definitely heavier and a little more bulky, but I didn't mind the extra weight after a little use.
