I used to have a Sony 505 and, though it was far from great lighting, I used the Lightwedge for night reading (every single night btw). I gave the 505 to my sister for Christmas and picked up a Pocketbook 360. I enjoy the versatility of the 360 but I have to use a silly headlamp to read at night. I didn't think it would bother me as much as it does - but it does. A lot.

I am anxiously waiting for something to come out this year that will my next best reader. The Pixel Qi screen will make it to a number of tablets - the Notion Ink Adam is looking pretty darn amazing (check out the video of a prototype). If not something like that, then one of the forthcoming 7" MIDs (mobile internet device) will work nicely.

Today I picked up my monthly supply of books and for the first time, I put them on my 360 AND on my IPhone. Yes, the Iphone screen is teeny but it's backlit. 'Nough said
