They never said 2006.

That thought did cross my mind, actually.

Oho, their ears must have been burning -- this just hit my inbox:

I'm sure that last sentence is a form of English, in some places.

Aprilbeginnings · 12-12-2006, 04:48 PM

I just checked my email........... I didn't get a response.

Oh well I guess it would say the same thing as yours did.

Thanks for the update NatCh.

NatCh · 12-12-2006, 05:07 PM

They probably meant "product's" -- apostrophe abuse is rampant in our culture. (tsk, tsk)

I wouldn't feel too left out just yet, Karen, they're prowly working their way through a backlog.

Aprilbeginnings · 12-12-2006, 05:10 PM

That is true.......... well I really don't feel bad since I know what they are going to say, <grinning>...... so I will do what they say, I have bookmarked their page and I just keep checking it...... they have added new things, just not what I/We are needing......

Aprilbeginnings · 12-13-2006, 06:26 PM

Well I just got my response.... same as yours;;

Well!...It's positive, that's good news! Just a little more waiting.

Aprilbeginnings · 12-14-2006, 08:15 AM

Yes, at least we know they are indeed making one for the reader.

Bob Russell · 12-14-2006, 08:28 AM

Remember that LightWedge has multiple kinds of lights.

There is this one that we all want for the Sony Reader... http://www.lightwedge.com/prod_original.html
But I don't think this is being worked on. At least no one has said that it is being created for the Sony Reader. And we have had reports that the existing versions don't stay in place well on the Reader because of fit.

The good news is most likely all about the other light that was originally reported at MobileRead -- the clip on light that clips to the case at the top, and has a flexible neck with LED light(s) at the end of the goose neck.

I think that is a really nice light and look forward to seeing it released, but I hope people aren't getting excited with the false hope for the other kind of side light.

Don't know if I understand you correctly, the other light with the flexible neck is already available. I think they are talking about the flat lay on the book version, other wise they wouldn't be telling us to keep an eye on their page....Two of us have received the letter stating it's being worked on. I see the words *clip on* light, well why could they not make this flat wedge into a clip on model, I sure would like to see it sort of on there and not having to hold it down to use it, plus we have the problem of getting to the page turner.... I guess we will have to see.

Maybe we should rewrite them and make it clear which version we are wanting.....

Glad I don't read much at night, although later in the evening in the house, the lights don't work well enough and I need something right on this thing so that I really can see....... My little one light jobber is OK but I wish it had at least two LED's.....

Aprilbeginnings · 12-14-2006, 09:13 AM

I just rewrote them and told them I had a clip on and that it wasn't that efficient, LOL, and if they would be making one which would be ideal as this one only for the Sony-eReader. http://www.lightwedge.com/prod_paperback.html So lets see if they come up with a different answer this time. I wrote them using a different email address and called myself April, didn't want to be repetitive being me and my same email address once again, LOL.........

Actually I think one would be easy enough to make Bob...... I just think it needs to be smaller than what they have....... have it fit over the face just up to the little number buttons 1-0........ that would leave room for the stop/menu button and the page turner and bookmark, have the reader fit from their upwards.......... it would work IMO....

Bob Russell · 12-14-2006, 10:36 AM

I'd sure like to hear that they are really working on the wedge. I agree -- it doesn't seem to be much of a stretch to adjust the design for the Sony Reader. I agree it should work. It seems to be the perfect use for it because, like you indicated, you shouldn't have to move it to turn pages (which you would have to do for a regular book). Hope they reply with good news.

Aprilbeginnings · 12-14-2006, 10:40 AM

Well let everyone know what they say this time since I made it more specific what doesn't really work well (well it works ok the clip on) and what we really want.

Hopefully within two days as they stated although last time it took about a week.
