I've been waiting for something like this, but I've just sprung for the rechargeable, even though more expensive.

I note that all of their battery-operated lights give a life of 30 hours. Even if this is not an optimistic estimate (like Sony's laughable 7500 page turns), and if I read only three hours a day (and I read a lot more), those batteries would only be good for 10 days or less.

I'd probably end up paying a lot more for batteries in just a few months than I will for the recharrgeable light. I'll let you know how I like it when I get it.
