Good idea. I'd rep you for that, but I don't want to ruin your perfectly rounded karma. So many nice zeros...
Good thread fearindex. I've gotten some ideas.
I hate booklights. I always have. I've actually read on LCDs for more than a decade because I hate booklights so much, and I read every night. I've found ways to make it strain free, but I am liking my kindle.
I dug an old booklight out last night to try it on my new K4B. I know I don't want that hassle, and I'm pretty sure I won't like the case, and I know I don't want to lose my wonderful page turning buttons, so I'm daydreaming a little about a 3D printed (or maybe even sugru/oogoo) housing that could slide on to the top of my kindle. I could choose the led intensity, angle the bulbs just so, angle a housing overhang to prevent light hitting my eyes directly and then shade it with a paper of my choice. I bet I could get a pretty even, glare free experience. Might even be able to do adjustable brightness.
It's not something I'm likely to do soon, if ever, but I can dream.
