M-Edge e-Luminator2 Booklight for Barnes & Noble nook - White Review

M-Edge e-Luminator2 Booklight for Barnes and Noble nook - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't have the nook cover that goes with this light but it doesn't matter. I can slip it behind my nook (in between the nook and its cover) and it stays place without a problem. When I'm done with the light I just bend it around the R side of the nook near the clasp of my cover. It works great and I can keep it attached to my nook when carrying it in my purse/bag. Light works great. It covers the whole page and is lightweight.

Cover with Custom Light Shield +2 Aaa Batteries Review

Cover with Custom Light Shield +2 Aaa Batteries
Average Reviews:

This is a tough one to call. I find this book light much easier to use than the LED types mounted on a flexible arm which can sometimes be too bright or end up not being able to be directed at the screen at a proper angle. This sits flat on the Sony Reader without pushing into the reader's screen because of the ridged light plate. However, because this is a light wedge, the left side of the light wedge is the thicker side. I don't find that text appearing under the left side of the light wedge appears blurry in any significant way, but what I noticed immediately was that the overall text is no longer as crisp. Also, because the light source is from the left of the wedge where it is thicker and ridged, the light refracts a bit on the left side of the wedge. So, if you look at the left side of the Reader's screen you may notice some slightly lighter and darker areas alternating vertically. It's actually not too much of an issue, it doesn't bother me when I'm reading.
What I don't like is that it adds a noticeable amount of weight, thickness and width to the Reader because of the case it comes with. Since I leave this on my night stand most of the time for bedtime reading, I don't mind. But if I had to carry this around I could see being annoyed by the changes.
The new cover measures 5 7/8" x 7 2/8" x 13/16"
Old cover is about 5 1/8" x 7 1/16" x 1/2"
If you're really addicted to that sleek and slim feel of the Sony Digital Reader, please know that this cover with the light wedge *will* change the way it feels. It feels like I'm carrying around a datebook or planner or something. LightWedge is actually a copyrighted product (I don't know if this is what Sony uses) and when you price the actual LightWedge items against the retail for a Sony Cover with Light, you'll see how inflated Sony's MSRP is.
Lightwedge Paperback Book Light (Translucent Chocolate)I'm keeping my old cover just in case.

Epson PowerLite S3 LCD Projector Review

Epson PowerLite S3 LCD Projector
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a good product. I especially liked the design and convenient menu. Very easy to use and good picture quality. Two things I did not like about this projector: (1) no optical zoom and (2) only 800by600 resolution. This is not a problem if you plan to place the projector close to the screen, such that your image is not very large. In my case I wanted to project images on a wall in my living room (which is about 14 inches long) and mount the projector next to the opposite wall. It did not work. The image size was huge and the image quality was not so good. I could see separate pixels and it was very annoying. You can decrease the image size digitally, but it does not improve the image quality.
I ended up returning this projector and ordering Epson Powerlite 76C LCD instead. Couldn't be happier. 76C has all the same features + 1024by768 resolution and optical zoom. Definitely worth additional $250!

Want to take your presentations, movies, video games, and television programs to the next level? The Epson PowerLite S3 can take you there. Fill your home, office, or classroom with glorious, larger-than-life images using this affordable 5.6-pound projector. The projector, which features 800 x 600 (SVGA) resolution, delivers 1600 lumens so you can experience all your entertainment with oversized images that surpass even big-screen TVs.
Epson 3LCD technology ensures accurate color and remarkable saturation, even in well-lit rooms. Plus, specialized color modes mean you get the most vibrant images, whatever the situation, and smooth video playback means that onscreen action sequences come alive. And best of all, the PowerLite S3 makes setup a breeze. The projector also features a time-saving instant off feature.
Great for Presentations Because the S3 is so light, you can take it anywhere, making it ideal for presenters on the go. The instant off feature lets you turn off the projector and unplug it immediately--then you're off to your next presentation. Epson 3LCD technology consistently delivers vibrant images and rich color saturation, plus a deep, extensive gray scale for precision detail--even subtle gradations are visible. There's also a USB port for mouse and keyboard connectivity, as well as an included soft carry case.
Video Magic Not just for presenters, the S3 shines in the living room, too. Just switch the projector from presentation mode to theater mode, and suddenly, you've got an amazing home theater. The S3's smooth video playback makes onscreen action come alive. It offers a big-screen performance that makes it easy to enjoy DVDs or video games with amazing color and detail. It's even HDTV-ready, and you can select both traditional and widescreen formats (4:3/16:9). Plus, you can choose the photo mode for viewing digital slideshows.

The S3's analog connections include video-RGB, composite video, S-video, component video (via video-RGB), and audio RCA.
Easy Setup and Maintenance With the included full-featured remote control you can easily switch sources, control presentation functions, and more. Plus, the projector has a five-second startup time to avoid presentation delays and reduce pre-presentation jitters. Color-coded cables make connectivity easy for first-time users. Lastly, 30-degree keystone correction offers greater positioning flexibility without any distortion.
Maintaining the S3 is a breeze, too. Conveniently placed lamp and air filters are designed for easy, affordable changes, even when the projector is ceiling-mounted. A built-in high-speed fan quickly cools the projector, especially in high-altitude locations. The S3 ships with a two-year limited warranty, plus a 90-day lamp warranty for added dependability. During the duration of the two-year limited warranty, the Epson Road Service program provides a replacement projector, typically within 24 hours. The warranty is good in over 45 countries and Epson supplies a toll-free support line.

Sekonic L-308s Light Meter (Black) Review

Sekonic L-308s Light Meter (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This meter is dead easy to use, largely because it is not cluttered with features most of us don't need often if ever. This meter is one you put at the subject location or hold in the sun to obtain a single reading. If you want to read various locations in a scene and have your meter provide an "average" reading, this meter is not for you -- you'll have to figure the average in your head.
It has the advantage of using easily obtained and relatively cheap batteries, which in a pinch can be pirated from other devices most of us have around the place, such as small flashlights and TV remote controls.

The pocket-sized Sekonic L-308S FLASHMATE is the smallest and lightest digital light meter in the Sekonic line-up. Designed to read ambient or flash exposures in either reflected or incident modes, the L-308S delivers accurate exposure readings in full, half, or third-stop increments to mirror the exposure displays of most popular cameras. When set to full-stop mode, exposures are displayed in tenth-stop increments with a repeat accuracy of +/- 0.1 EV.Reflected readings capture at a light receiving angle of about 40-degrees, or slightly wider than the viewing field of a normal lens. For incident readings, a small, built-in Lumisphere slides over the silicon diode sensor. For flat-field incident readings, a Lumidisc (included) snaps over the sensor for metering flat artwork or measuring contrast and/or exposure ratios within a scene. Electronic flash exposures can be taken with or without a PC cord.

Kindle light Clip-On LED Book Light eReader White Color Sony Kindle book light clip on Review

Average Reviews:

This isn't designed for just the Kindle, so don't expect a custom fit. You have to clip it to one of the upper corners to keep it from overlapping the screen, and it doesn't stay on very securely. That said, the light is nice and bright, and if you're using it while lying in bed, it should stay on as long as you don't jiggle it too much. It does the job, and the price it right.

Belkin Clip-On Reading Light for Kindle (White) Review

Belkin Clip-On Reading Light for Kindle (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Edit on July 10, 2010:
I have added a very short video comparing a few of my reading lights, but please understand I am not a videographer, so it really isn't that good. But I hope it helps someone though.
I still use the Belkin light the most and no longer look for any other reading lights for my Kindle - it broke my addiction! :)
Original Review:
I admit to collecting reading lights for my Kindle (you can see my review of others here: Mighty Bright MiniFlex Book Light, Black), so it wasn't surprising when I ordered this one after seeing it mention on the Kindle forum here on Amazon.
The light is very bright - even on the lowest setting. It might actually be a bit too bright if you are reading in bed with a significant other, but I don't have that problem at the moment.
I read my Kindle naked - sans cover. This light firmly holds onto the Kindle without or without a cover. It is different than the other Might Bright Lights, as this doesn't clip on per se - it will slide onto the naked Kindle, and will extend to fit over the Kindle with a cover. I have added pictures above to show this in more detail.
For me, the biggest issues are weight of the light and limiting a hotspot on the Kindle screen. I find this light to weigh about the same as the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light (Kindle Version) Black [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging], (maybe a little less) but it seems more balanced because of the wider base - easier for me to use in bed while I am lying on my side. The front edge also will not touch the Kindle screen like the Might Bright will. And I am able to adjust the light so I have no hotspot on the screen.
Some of these things are probably personal preference, so your mileage may vary. If you like the Kandle, this probably isn't for you. If you like the Mighty Bright, this is slightly better in my opinion, but a bit pricier.
Enjoy! :)
