I use the Sony Lightwedge-cover when I read sitting up in bed, but I also like to read lying down. In an upside down position, the Lightwedge-cover is heavy and the light screen falls off the reader unless I hold it in place.

I've been sorting through clip-ons as an alternative, and specifically, lights that clip onto the reader itself and not the cover, because holding the reader with a cover upside down is cumbersome.

Most gooseneck and wire-neck clip-ons wobble too much. At Walgreens, I found these wonderful mini clip-on LED lights at the bargain price of 2 for $3 (Amazon has the same light for $21 each!). The short neck is adjustable and doesn't wobble. The light illuminates the reader, but is uneven with splotches and shadows.

Are there better lights for reading upside down?
