It actually did a fairly good job of illuminating the entire screen in a dark room and I could angle it in such a way that there was no glare from the screen. Reading was quite comfortable.

However, because the bezels at the sides and the top of the screen are so narrow, you can really only clamp it on at the bottom where the bezel is wider. It also slides around a bit, but that will probably not be a problem when the protective case arrives as it will likely provide a grippier surface for the light to hold on to. Until the cover arrives, I may just use a thin strip of rubber on the underside of the ereader if I want to use the light.

In a well lit room, the contrast is fine for my eyes. I really wouldn't want to be using the clip on light all the time as it could become a bit awkward when writing/sketching.

Hopefully, they will eventually come up with a solution and be able to provide an integrated frontlight on large screen eink devices. That would be the ideal solution.
Thank you so much for that!

So it really shouldn't be difficult to add a frontlight to the Note, right? I wonder if a front-light version is in the works?
