I use the 'paperback' model Lightwedge with my K1. It's not ideal but it works. The paperback model is just a bit shorter than the Kindle itself and a little wider.

Anyway I've found it works in two ways. Keeping the K1 in the leather cover:

1. Wedge the Wedge (haha) light-edge first into the two holder tabs to the left of the Kindle. So the spine of the Lightwedge is to the right. This can work, but sometimes slips out of the tabs. It also blocks the page-back button, and make access to the Next Page button a little harder.

2. My preferred method, open the Kindle cover and just prop the Lightwedge up on the left-hand inside cover. The Wedge illuminates the Kindle's face enough to read by and doesn't cover the Kindle at all.

The real ideal would be a custom cover like the Sony PRS-505 has.
