Just for fun I removed the light wedge from the light wedge case (it snaps in and out) and used a rubber band to attach it to my 505 in the leather case. I had the rubber band around the black part of the wedge and around the case with the cover folded back. I found it very usable that way. Perhaps there is hope for rigging future readers this way as well.

Regarding those that don't think the light is better than a clip on, i have to say I can't understand that point of view at all. The wedge works so great. The clip on lights don't light evenly and I find them just terrible to read with. I ended up buying a head lamp instead which really sucked since if I turn the wrong way I shine it in my wife's eyes, wake her up, and scare the crap out of her. As JanetCinNC experienced, I never had the light wedge interfere with her sleep.

Anyway, I hope Sony gives us the light wedge option or that the clip on light they sell really works (looking forward to the reviews).
