I put the thing together last night and read for a couple hours. Those 4 AAA batteries and the lexan add about 4 ounces to the weight. I had noticed the lights to the face problem prior to bed. I used masking tape to cover the LEDs, Yvan.

Still needs a new switch and I need some strip aluminum to screw the thing together structurally. I seriously doubt that two neodynium magnets by themselves could hold JUST the tapered lexan piece in place, much less with full battery pack and things. It's going to want to pull off from the left side of the screen, so I need to add a hook that will grab the reader from the left and latch on the right with the magnets.

Hey Yvan, I'll trade ya for your sweet wooden book holder
