light wedge September 29, 2008 The best solution for reading in bed in the dark I've tried yet. I read magazines in bed because books keep me awake if they are too interesting. The plastic has a tendency to cling to the pages. Other than that it is a great product even if a little expensive.
GREAT! September 29, 2008 This product is great! My husband sleeps and I can read as long as I want to!
Book light September 23, 2008 I purchased this light wedge (book light) for a friend who likes to read in bed at night, like I do. It made her very happy.
Wait to buy until they release an updated version September 19, 2008 I bought my Light Wedge after seeing it on Oprah's favorite things last year. I was sure that this was the answer to wearing a headlamp during reading and I am definitely one to keep up with the latest tech. After using it for the last eight months a couple of things have irked me to the point where I am officially retiring the product and moving back to more conventional methods.
Problem the first!
This thing scratches beyond easy. I wish I had the foresight to purchase some large screen protectors or something of the sort. I don't mistreat it either, it just acts as my bookmark when I am not using it. In the time I have owned it it has become so bad that it's difficult to read and I have to move it around in order to read a whole page.
Problem the second!
The battery casing is a joke. I don't know what the hell the designers were thinking, but in order to get the batteries into the device you have to seriously wedge (pardon the pun) the suckers in. I use rechargeable batteries and the bottoms are ruined from how hard they have to press against each other inside.
All in all the concept is fantastic. I loved it for the first few months even despite the fact that I couldn't put the batteries in without help. Now that it is nearly unusable I wish that I had spent my $30 on more books instead.
If you are interested in purchasing one I would say wait until the next model comes out, but if you really must have it now make sure you get something to protect the screen on both sides.
Coolest light since Lite Brite! September 15, 2008 I love this book light! You have to be careful when turning pages though because it puts off a lot of light and can be distracting for a person trying to sleep next to you in the dark.
