I've recently queried both Lightwedge - who's refused to even respond to my e-mails - and a smaller outfit, in Canada I think, who makes installation kits of front-lighting for Gameboys and the like. I'm hoping to hear back from him. I've asked if he could make a slip-on/clip-on front-light for either the Sony or the Cybook and I gave him the dimensions of each.

(Some people, of course, don't want the unit to have its own lighting, as the contrast between the unit and the surroundings causes them eye fatigue. This is a separate issue.)
