If I just buy a Sony case for it (I have 4 small children, it needs a case), will a normal book light work with it?
Yep... I struggled with the cost of the Sony lighted case. Then a fellow member recommended one of these. They are light in weight, thin, nice an bright and very inexpensive at only $3.91 (and that includes the shipping).
They slip over the back cover flap of the standard book cover. Then you simply bend them as needed to get the light you need and eliminate glare.

They ship from Hong Kong so I was worried I might never see them, but... I ordered two of them and they arrived 13 days after I placed the order.

Also available in blue:

I got one of the genuine Sony "standard" covers with no light, (PRSA-SC6) off eBay for only $9 delivered! There are always several on eBay in this price range. So... in the end... I have lighted book cover for only $13!
