Kindle 3 DIY Light

Step 8Final Thoughts

If I were to do this again, I would take the following into consideration:

A) The higher the lights are from the page, the easier the reading.  Mount your lights as high as possible.  There's a reason the official lighted cover has a pull out light.  If someone can come up with a DIY hack similar to this, I'd love to see it.

B) push the lights back as far as you can into the hood.  They can be very distracting and even blinding in a dark room when looked at directly.  You're not going for a bright point of light, but rather a nicely scattered diffuse light over the entire face.

C) CENTER the light.  It bothers me to no end that I didn't pay attention to the positioning of the light and didn't get it centered.  But that's just a little obsessive behavior showing through.
