[Vaporware]

Motivated by lack of available custom booklights, I am making a custom lightwedge. The idea behind it is very simple. The lightwedge is simply two LEDs, a resistor and 6 volts. the part that costs $25 is the light guide. The light guide has tiny angles in the casting that reflect a tiny part of the light evenly over the page of the book.

My plan is to cut the lightwedge to the right size (as detailed in the third picture lightwedgemode.jpg), add a new switch and a batter pack that clips onto the back cover. I'm going to try to use the magnets in the ebook to attach it, but I suspect they won't be strong enough to hold the heavy plastic.

I don't think it will be very hard, but I don't have the right tools right now to really get started.
