Isn't technology grand?

But that day has come, and now more than 300 of your all-time favorite books, along with hundreds of other New York Times Bestsellers, foreign titles and how-to books are sitting squarely in the palm of your hand &mdash all stored in your Sony Touch Edition Reader.

Protect &mdash and serve up 24-hour reading
Imagine, protection for your library of books and sensitive touch screen, with a shining beacon of light to help you read it &mdash anytime of the day or night. This all-in-one accessory with custom-designed light not only offers you long battery life that enables you to read up to 19 hours at a stretch, it lets you choose between two brightness settings for your personal reading pleasure. Lower light is ambient, and best suited to lowest light conditions, while brighter light cuts glare from semi-light environments.

Unfortunately it broke after a couple of months of use. The tabs used to hold the reader book in place are plastic and did not hold up at all. Not happy about the quality of the product. The tabs should be made out of metal to last and prevent the reader from sliding out and falling. Be careful if you buy this product.

The Sony cover is what you would expect from the old Sony. It is well stitched, nicely fitted, thoroughly designed, and relatively affordable. I purchased the black cover, which has a leather grain finish and stitching around the edges. The name Sony is stamped on the front, with the Reader logo stamped on the back both are discrete. The edges of the cover protrudue slightly over the sides of the Reader itself, and there are two light magentic catches that hold the cover closed. They are not, however, a latch so this cover will over good protection in a bag but it is not a secure carrier on its own. On the spine side of the cover since with the cover on you now have the look adn feel of a book, the light unit extends the cover aroudn 2.5 past the reader. The light integrates very well with the unit so if it is not needed it will not be in the way. When needed, it is easily positions and casts a wide bar of low or high light there are two settings on the switch across the reading surface. The light has served me well on airlines, C-130s, night buses and trains. Finally, the Reader is physically attached to the cover through excellently designed latch points on the unit itself no straps or bands to wrangle. With the cover folded back, you can read on your back or side without complaint. I take half a star off because while the plastic light case seems to be of smudge-free plastic, the light switch does not have the heft of longevity to it. Time will hopefully prove me wrong. In any event, love the Reader and the cover is a terrific addition. Welcome back, Sony. Ill stand by for updates to my Vaio.

It works well enough, but not like I expected. The light does not have the intensity that I was looking for. The digital reader is not made so the readability of the screen is enhanced when using a reading light. I did try a separate reading light at first and that was a complete disaster, so this is at least usable. I would suggest anyone get this accessory for the digital readers no matter what the brand until they make the screen more readable.

Really wanted to love this but so far it is about a 3-4 star item overall.
The cover is very functional to protect and defend the digital book from spills and thrills but the light is only so so. You have to position it just right to get the correct angle and prevent glare. The good news it that it only takes a AAA battery. The LED lights are not overly bright so it wont keep a bed partner awake.
Overall functional but not WOW. The light positioning is my main gripe with the item. Have only tried this one so maybe they are all alike.

I wanted to be able to read in dim light and the reader cover answers that problem quite well. I thought about just using a clip on light, but have no
regrets about spending the extra money. The light is adjustable to any angle and the cover is durable and feels good in the hand as well as providing excellent protection to the reader. The thing I really like is that when holding the reader in its new cover it does not feel like Im holding an overgrown cell phone but rather a traditional book. As I said, Im happy to have indulged myself.

Pros
Convenient to use - light built right into the cover.
Two brightness settings.
Looks great.
Keeps dust out.
Protects screen.
Cons
A bit on the expensive side.
Light could be brighter.
All in all - very good solution to any light-deprived potential ebook reading situation. If you dont mind spending a few extra bucks for a custom, factory look and feel - and you can get by with a not-super-bright LED lamp... I highly recommend it.

Cover really works well, fits well and turns tablet into a more book like reader.
The self contained lamp is neat, folds out of the way when not needed and provides adequate light when required.
The only draw back thus far is light relects off the eReader glass and can be annoying. You need to experiment with the angle of the lamp to get sufficient lighting with the least amount of glare.

The light is nice. It bends easily so you can move it if necessary. I thought the cover would be a little nicer. It is thin and hard. I had hoped it would be made of a softer cushiony material. Overall I like it. I like to read when we travel and this makes it very easy to do so. Price at Vanns was much cheaper than the stores. This product is overpriced so I was happy to find it more reasonably priced at Vann.s. Because of the cover and price I would give it a 3.5 out of 5.0.

I bought this cover to use with my Sony 600 eBook Reader. It does add to the overall weight and size of the eBook but not much. I find myself removing it when reading in good lighting. It is easy to attach and detach from the reader. It has a good feel to it, similar to a leather-bound hardback book which is really nice. The 600 series eBooks readers are not back-lit so the LED light is necessary for reading in low-light situations but its not ideal. The 600 series has a lot of glare so I find that Im moving the arm several times per page to get the glare of the light andor the physical arm out of my way so I can read. Ive looked at other covers for this reader and this is the best one available right now so I until they come up with a better one, I would recommend it.

This was bought for me as a gift to go along with my Sony PRC600, and I am very satisfied with it. It is of very good quality and seems to be very well made. The light is highly adjustable, able to be aimed from the side or the top. and the cover itself can be help open like a book, or folded back like some would do with a paperback, and doesnt seem to be taking any undue wear-and-tear with it. The light itself has two settings, a high-beam and a low, which is nice. The only complaint that I have, is unless the light is aimed just so, there can be a glare on the face of the E-reader, which can be highly distracting, and painful to sensitive eyes. But if it is adjusted to avoid the glare, it still leaves some of the book in shadow. Overall, I am very happy with it.
