I just bought the PRSA-CL1 after reading about it here. It works as you all described, yet I overlooked one thing until I got it today: the frosted glass on the light wedge. The text isn't clear, a bit blurry, like the photocopied effect that someone described. Definitely not as good as reading in the daytime or even low light conditions, such as my commuter train.

I kind of thought the light wedge glass would be clear. I can see now it must be frosted to reduce glare.
