PRS-505 Night light for 505 (pref without cover)

richrock · 01-02-2012, 07:06 AM

I tend to read quite some time after the wife is sound asleep. As such, I need to re-invest in a decent night light for my beloved 505, which does not bleed much light either side.

What I mean is, I had one of these : http://www.amazon.co.uk/light-KINDLE...505642&sr=8-83 and they were okay for reading DT Books, but the spread of light was such that it would annoy my wife sleeping next to me.

Short of getting single beds (

) - can anyone recommend a nightlight for my 505 which puts most light on the screen, not either side? Apologies if this has been asked before, I tried searching but results for 'night' and 'light' gave some very vague threads...

I use a Princeton headlamp I bought at REI as a book light and for the 505 these days. Works better and I get longer battery life and no burnt out bulb, since the headlamp has LED lighting.

Try this if you can find one for cheap:

It's an incredible light for reading books on the PRS-505. I had one myself, and I haven't had a light for reading that good since I sold the 505 to get the T1. If anyone could confirm that it fits the T1 perfectly, I'd get one in a heartbeat for the T1.
