I tried Flex-Neck Reading Light (link) and was underwelmed. I acutally bought two (one for my wife) but found that I had to use both to have enough light to read. It was also a bit awkward having two things cliped to the reader and it still was not very good.

Today I picked up the I-Sight Ear thingie diabloNL was talking about (found it at Radio Shack - link). This may be good but the problem, as you can see from DialboNL's pictues, is that you can't light up the whole book at once due to a tight focus when it is attached to your ear. I did manage to get it to work from a distance by hanging it on my over the bed lamp. I'll try that tonight and see if it bothers my wife. The reflection concern does not look like it will be a problem to me. The good news is that the batteries for the Flex-Neck fit in the I-Sight so at least they won't go to waste if the I-Sight works out.

I think I want a customized lightwedge very badly. I was tempted to take out my IPAQ last night for it's backlight but that would be giving up!
