5.0 out of 5 stars EXCEPTIONAL WITH EVENLY DISTRIBUTED LIGHTING, January 20, 2010

This review is from: M-Edge e-Luminator2 Booklight for Sony Reader Touch Edition - Black (Electronics)

Having recently purchased the SONY Reader Touch Edition, I began seeking not only a protective case but also an external light. Unsatisfied with the product offered by SONY, I gave M-Edge a try. With the Light arriving six days ahead of Amazon's projection, I eagerly opened the box and prepared to test the light. The battery compartment, which holds one AAA battery seemed a bit snug and when I finally got the courage to push the battery deep inside, I found that a simple tap and the battery was easily accessible for removal. The light slips into the back of the M-Edge SONY Reader Touch Edition jacket and with a goose neck, it can easily be positioned. The light is quite evenly distributed over the screen and gives the illusion that the screen is actually back lit. Certainly at the bottom of the page the light falls off just a bit, but it is to such a small degree that is is not distracting to the reading experience. The light has two brightness settings which is another plus. I use rechargeable batteries so I am not concerned with battery life, but do understand that it is quite lengthy. The M-Edge e-Luminator2 is extremely light-weight, not adding any significant weight to the reader. Despite the light weight, it seems quite sturdy and well made. The M-Edge Reader jacket and light make a perfect addition to your reader, making it so convenient to do reading in low-light situations without having to resort to a lamp or overhead light. Five Stars going on Six!

This review is from: M-Edge e-Luminator2 Booklight for Sony Reader Touch Edition - Black (Electronics)

This light is excellent while you are actively using it. If you position it right the light is pretty evenly distributed. It fits perfectly in the leather case that it is advertised with. I have had no trouble with glare at all. It is a great reading light.

My one big complaint is that when you are not actively using it, it does not store well at all. The light just sticks out of the top. If you put the light in the proper place in the top of the leather holder the light hangs out of the top. I have had to move it out of the proper place when I am not using it and put it all the way at the bottom. It still sticks out of the top, just not as bad. It is a real inconvenience because I always have to be very careful where I set it and how I carry it because I am afraid I will break the light.

I rate this 3 stars because it does function great while you are using it. I just wish the maker would have thought about what to do with it when you're not.

This is an excellent light. I had a mighty brite, but damaged it. I was considering the Sony cover with light, but changed my mind due to the price. The m-edge light is smaller than the mighty brite, but it does a very nice job illuminating my Sony Touch. It fits nicely in the jacket as well. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a book light. It takes one AAA battery and there are two illuminations.
