The AT&T retail store was asking $29.95 for this charger, so I decided to look online. I found it on Amazon for less than $5.00, which is less than I would have paid on eBay. The seller shipped promptly, and the item was well packaged.

Universal Micro Car Charger (AT&T branded) with an additional USB (extra cable not incl) port to charge two devices at once.



Works great.



Be advised simultaneous charging of two phones may take significantly longer due to circuit board limitations.

charger works! slows down a bit when you are charging 2 devices but that was expected. only gripe is the white LED light is REALLY bright. I have to angle it away from me in the car so its not blinding my peripheral vision.

Nice to have a USB port in a car-charger. It definitely comes handy when charging your ipod (or other non-micro USB gadgets) as long you have the standard USB Cable that comes with it. The center white disc lights up nicely when plugged in, and can light up the interiors. The coiled cable is a nice feature.

What I did not like about this charger - 1) There is no light indication if a charge has been complete. I question it's ability to auto-shutoff when the phone is fully charged. I haven't been able to confirm it.

2) The center light is nice but can be too bright during night driving. Some may like it though. I'm going to apply a tape over it to cut its intensity.

Overall a good buy for price.'

It's 10/5/06 and I'm editing this review right up front with the first paragraph, because this little calc has a problem that I hadn't noticed initially. The new HP keys, as I describe below, are great. They have a solid click and a good rollover ability - meaning that you can push the number 1, then push the number 2 before letting go of the 1 entirely, and you'll still get "12" on the screen. That's perfect. Here's the downside: Rapidly enter the number "1100." Click-click-click-click. And yet my screen says "10." Why? Because a rapid double-click of a numeric key results in the calculator noticing only the first click. If a typewriter worked that way, I'd be attending metings every day instead of meetings.



**UPDATE - 10/14/06** One of the commands available, not documented in the 50g material, but documented for several earlier HP calculators, is a KEYTIME command. Quite simply, replacing the default keytime with "500" eliminates missed keystrokes. This corrects the problem I described above.



And now back to my original review:



First, the keypad issue has been addressed with this model, and each key has a feel that is similar to the HP41 - just about perfect for data entry without needing to look at the keypad. Now all that's necessary is for HP to return to the complex keys that allowed for print both on the top surface and the beveled edge; that would allow for some improvement in the user interface. But overall this is a major step forward from the HP49 line.



Next, the display is bright and legible with good contrast. These multiline displays still aren't quite as good as the single line displays from years past in terms of visibility at odd angles but we're coming close. There's plenty of information here with a seven line stack in the default mode.



The manual is where the calculator loses a star. While the new manual is an improvement over the HP48/49 series (though it has less information, it is more understandable), it is nowhere near as complete and useful as the HP41 series manuals were. HP needs to bring back a well-written manual series with use of color, high-end paper, and quality typesetting. For example, the calculator comes with a user's manual; on page 1-20, it says that additional references can be found in Chapter 1 and Appendix C of the calculator's user's guide. What user's guide? They don't mean the manual since that doesn't have any Appendices (or an index, for that matter). Where would I get the user's guide? Then I discover that it is included, and is on the CD-ROM in pdf form. Apparently it is a larger version of the user's manual, with additional information, including an index. Much of the information in the Guide is duplicated from the Manual - but we still don't have complete programming and functional command discussion. Don't get me wrong - everything you need for standard operations is here; but if you really want to get into the capabilities of the calculator (and that's why you're spending $129, right?), we want the full manual. Oh, and bring back the manuals that are spiral-bound so we don't have to weigh the book down with something each time we turn to the calculator to try something.



Here too is a connectivity kit of software, none of which runs on my Mac. I tried plugging it in to the Mac using the standard USB connecting cable (included) but nothing happened. Since I didn't buy the HP with any need to hook it up to my Mac, it's not a problem, but what good is connectivity if noone bothered with the Mac software?



There are a few little nits that still need to be picked. For example, the stack is right justified but data entry is left justified. It is much easier to quickly review an entered number and compare it to numbers on the stack if they are similarly justified. The enter key needs to return to double-width just above the numeric portion of the keypad, and HP should finally pick a standard numeric/operator layout and stick with it. The HP41 had the major operators on the left. The HP48 put them on the right and changed the sequence. The HP50 keeps them on the right but bumped them all up by one key. For those of us who essentially touch-type on calculators, this relearning is a pain.



I must admit that if HP simply rebuilt the HP41C series with more memory, they'd have a clear winner. And given the prices that those models sell for on eBay in new condition, HP could clearly do well with such a product.



The connectivity issue would have cost another star, but the overall build quality, computing capabilities, programming capabilities, and incorporation of RPN on the 50g make it clearly worth 4 stars. HP 50g Graphing Calculator (F2229AA#ABA)

At first I was somewhat disappointed with the HP50G, since it essentially has the same form factor and functionality as the HP49G+ (which I also own). Just changing the color doesn't justify a new model designation, IMHO. Wait a tick... the keyboard seems a bit better... played with it for awhile... switched back to the HP49G+... ack! I never noticed how horrendous the keyboard was on the HP49G+. The keyboard on the HP50G is velvet in comparison. If you have been frustrated by the clunky, clicky keyboard on the HP49G+, then the HP50G is the answer. Otherwise, stick with the HP49G+, since it is essentially the same calculator. - Scientific Calculator - Graphing Calculator - Calculator - Rpn'

Beginning in the mid-1990s, Peter Allison worked as a safari guide, primarily in Botswana. In Whatever You Do, Don't Run, Allison tells stories about his life in the bush. There are animal stories aplenty--a herd of elephants clustering protectively around its calving matriarch, a giant Python intent on crushing the life out of the author, an infestation of mice so desperately hungry they took to chewing on bald men's heads. But guides have to deal with paying guests as well as wild animals, and Allison does not shy from criticizing the spoiled and stupid among his tour groups.



In the hands of a more witty writer (think J. Maarten Troost's The Sex Lives of Cannibals), the material at Allison's disposal might have resulted in an unputdownable read. Allison's book isn't, but his stories are cute and amusing, and the author himself is likable and agreeably self-deprecating. Most interestingly, Whatever You Do, Don't Run gives readers a glimpse of an unusual llfestyle that most of us will probably not have given much thought to before: what's it like, day-to-day, to lead tourists around herds of impala and crocodile-infested rivers? If the subject matter is of interest, or if you like to browse the lives of people with jobs far different from yours, Allison's book is worth a quick read.



-- Debra Hamel Whatever You Do, Don't Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide

While I haven't been on safari, I'm guessing that this book should be required reading for anyone who is able to make the trip. Peter Allison's book was a nice, quick read filled with lots of great stories about his experiences. All in all, I would recommend this book highly. Several stories made me laugh out loud.



Enjoy.

Mr. Allison's, WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T RUN is filled with hilariously funny sometimes irreverent stories about his experiences as a safari guide in Botswana. The title is what drew me to his book, only food runs! You can't put it down, it is laugh out loud funny and you don't want it to end. Please write more! I can't wait for your next installment.

I recently read the non-fiction book Whatever You Do Don't Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide. This story is about Peter Allison's detailed and amusing tales from when he moved from Australia to Africa. I have never been out of the country, nor on a safari but after reading this book I felt as if I had just been on one. I always have wanted to go on a safari in Africa and now I want to work as a safari guide there, too. All the crazy and unbelievable stories that Allison shares opens up the reader's eyes on how different and sometimes scary a new continent can be, but also extremely rewarding.



In the beginning of the book I didn't quite understand why Allison would want to move from his suburban home in Australia to the far less developed continent of Africa. There are so many creepy bugs and diseases you can catch, but then I realized that there are more than dangerous organisms living in Africa. There are beautiful sunsets, majestic animals and the awesome stories that come with living in Africa. Allison had a thirst for adventure that needed to be quenched. This was satisfied when he traveled to Botswana.



Allison easily admitted he made lots of mistakes while being in Africa. He drove a Land Rover right into a river infested with hippos, and he also had to search for a half-naked tourist who is a member of the British royal family. While reading this book, I learned that it is ok to try new things and to be not so great at them. Allison had no idea what he was getting himself into, he had originally planned only to stay for two years but he spent at least a dozen years being a safari guide. He fell in love with Africa and its many endangered animals.



After reading this book I am going to try to convince my parents to take me to Africa and go on a safari. And I am recommending this book to anyone who likes a good laugh and some very odd yet pleasing stories.

I was a bit hesitant about this book at first because of the very different style. Not in-your-face, nor condescending, not pretensious. Peter Allison is very funny and refreshingly self effacing. Humble, to use an old fashioned word.



But it was the adventure, the outrageous tourists, and the really unexpected turns of events that had me up way past midnight on a working day. So I was a bit out of it with clients. It was worth it!



Superb!

In the book Whatever You do Don't Run the author Peter Allison, the main character and safari guide, tells stories about his astonishing adventures in Africa. This book was so good! I love how it was non-fiction, but reads like a realistic fiction story. As a freshman in high school I would recommend this book to all my friends.

One of the major reasons why I liked the book a lot was because the stories Peter wrote about were so interesting. My personal favorite is when Peter went swimming with elephants and had to maneuver around them, so they wouldn't notice him. Along with this one there are plenty of other breathtaking stories. Another characteristic I love about this book is its comedy. This book was hilarious. Some of the absurd stories about animals and tourists just made me laugh out loud.

When looking at other ratings of this book I couldn't find many negative ones. However, I did find one stating that Peter talked negatively of his costumers (the tourists). I would agree that not all of his tourist stories are positive, but on the other hand these ridiculous stories make the book great. For example Peter wrote about a few tourists that would not follow his rules. They would feed the wild animals and constantly take pictures. Although the author did say negative comments about these people, they created an interesting and funny story for him. There were also times in the book when the author spoke very highly of his customers.

I really think the author's purpose of this book was to show the reader what it's like to be an African safari guide. I also think he wanted to show what it would be like to be a tourist. Peter Allison did an amazing job of this. He went into to ample detail about his job, and every event that happens with it. This book was definitely a page-turner, and it was a pretty quick read. I can't wait to read the sequel, Don't Look Behind You! - Botswana - Travel Writing - Africa - Humor'

Passive 3d

I bought this set about a week ago and I've ran it through the ringer to test out everything. So far I'm pretty impressed.



The drawbacks aren't very many and they're not too much of a game-changer. One, there are no audio outputs from the tv other than an optical output. If you have a legacy sound system that doesn't have an optical input, it's not the end of the world. For an extra ~$25 or so you can get a stereo adapter that transfers the optical signal to coax or composite RCA analog. $100 to get yourself one that'll do dolby surround (which I had to do). It was a bit off-putting, and I was tempted to just get a new home theater system, but it was necessary for me to get (and save a couple hundred more dollars) who has a ton of extra gaming and video devices that I use. It's easier to just run an audio out from the television to the home theater system and plug everything into the tv to not have to mess with too many settings. I think you'll find audio output sparsity with most newer sets anyway. Digital age is taking over, I suppose.



The 2D to 3D features on this set are, well, hilarious. I have to commend the programmers who designed this set as I'm sure trying to write code to fit every visual situation will have a few coding hiccups, and over all it is a great feature. With very well-defined images, i.e. a strong foreground, a background, a middle ground subject, the forcing of the 3d image from a 2d image works amazingly. It doesn't bring anything towards you, mind, but will definitely push the backgrounds back for a pretty believable and often stunning picture. But, there are times when the image on the screen gets kind of confused and makes an approximation. This happens particularly often with women's shirts with words on them. The face will seem to come forward too far, the neck will be pushed back, the chest... well, let's just use the word I used earlier: hilarious. Slightly exaggerated, yes perhaps, but makes you wonder if the people designing feature did it on purpose? Speculation, probably not true...dirty, dirty coders. It's something I noticed, and others may not, but I think it's worth mentioning. 90% positive on this feature of the set, I'll give it.



Navigation on the set is a little weird if you want to get through the menus. It's designed more for the magic remote (the apps, too) I've found, which is pretty much just like using a Wii remote if you're familiar with that. A traditionalist like myself tried using the regular remote which took a while trying to weed through the often clumped-together features. Plus, I'm all for the progress of technology and all, but calling 240hz TruMotion, or whatever they call it, would be easier to figure out for the laymen in the long run if you put an explanation bubble popup upon hovering over an item in the menus. Also, by not listing the 240hz feature leads to a bit more confusion as the settings on the frame refresh sensitivity go from 1 to 10. They assumed people don't know what a hertz is, I suppose. Figuring out trumotions 1 to 10, I had to guess what I was messing with on screen.



Turning off the 240hz feature might be desirable, too, if you are annoyed at fine letters "crawling" on your screen. There was a feature in there that turned down an edge-refining in the picture which would've solved that problem, I think. I found it once, but I have yet to find it again. Another menu issue.



If you're an avid gamer, like myself, you're going to want to turn off all the nice little features that come along with this set. There is about 1/5 of a second lag on the image with doodads engaged. Halo looked pretty awesome with the forced 3D and Trumotion turned on, but that 1/5 of a second is the difference between a headshot and betrayal(s). It was a very unfortunate game I played that day.



I got a chance to look at the previous model (55LW5500) to test the passive 3D features of the old with the features on this one(55LW6500). There was talk that they would improve the 3D resolution somehow as with passive 3d you're essentially taking a 1080 pixel image down to 540 for each eye. I read talk about improvements to this feature, and I think (comparing a couple days apart) the 3D image is improved. I wouldn't know how they improved it as from what I can tell, the polarizing film on the screen I would have thought was set in stone, and maybe some of my own psychological want for the system to be better is creeping into the review, but I think it's been improved. It's hard to tell without having an active shutter 3D system in front of me with the older and newer models, but I'm pleased with the image. If you want the 3D image without the hassle of the active shutter glasses (which I did), I think this is your set.



The picture is great, the colors are great, LED backlighting works well, lightweight set easy to mount on a wall, picture wizard gives you a pretty good approximation of what you would want for a picture. In a phrase, I'm pleased. LG Infinia 55LW6500 55-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TV (Included: Four Pairs of 3D Glasses)

These are my first impressions after a couple of days.



We are totally satisfied and wowed. First of all the angle of view is just as good as plasma. There is absolutely no degradation of the picture from even extreme side angels. The setup was easy and LG's onboard program for adjusting the picture to our preferences was easy.



We haven't even watched 3d source content, but are totally blown away the the up conversion from 2D to 3D. We have watched TV HD sources for the "Oceans" series (lots of underwater shots) and Blu-ray DVDs for arial tours of Italy. Both were amazing. The underwater shots looked liked we were actually looking through the window of a submarine, and the arial shots like we were actually looking through a window of a helicopter. Our hats are off to the LG software developers!



The effect is like looking through a window, however, as all the depth of field is created from the screen to the distance. Nothing jumps out at you into the room, but the effect is very realistic for depth of field.



I have followed the active vs. passive 3D debate and I'm very fussy about my HD viewing. That being said, the 3D viewing is a very slight downgrade, maybe 10%, but the 3D effect more than makes up for it when watching the right programs. No problems with headaches. You can look around the room with the lightweight glasses on and nothing appears any different. 2D viewing is most excellent with no motion blur.



We are more than satisfied with the TV. The price on Amazon was the best we could find and the free delivery two days after ordering was a bonus. This is a large TV and you do not want to lug the box home in you car.'

Usb To Serial Adapter - 2009 amazon frustration-fre, iogear

Visit Store Now !!

I should have believed those other reviews that says this Serial Adapter doesn't work on XP, because it doesn't. The driver included on the CD does absolutly nothing, and the adapter simply will not work. Do not buy it if you are running XP. IOGEAR USB 2.0 to Serial/PDA Converter Cable GUC232A

This does not work under win XP. It seems to work, but frequently crashes the OS with the infamious windows "Blue Screen of Death".



This is even true with the latest drivers downloaded from the IOGear web site as of 4/2005.



IOGear tech support does not respond to error reports on this device.



RUN AWAY!

Trust the other reviewers. This does not work with Windows XP. Even though on the outside of the box it states it will work with XP on the inside it says "We have developed a walkthrough for our customers wishing to use the USB/PDA adapter with Windows XP. Although we currently make no official guarantees of functionality, many people have had success when installing the Windows 2000 driver." They can't even say it will work. Many hours of attempting to get this to work for my Palm Vx, I was about to give up UNTIL I saw on Amazon an adapter that Reviwers said worked with Windows XP. I bought it and it does!! So, save your money from IOGEAR and purchase the CABLES TO GO USB to Serial Adapter. It is so much simpler to install and it works!!!

Hello,This is to contradict a negative review for using this product w/ Mac OS X 10.2. I have successfully used it in combination with ZTerm to configure a Cisco router. It certainly works fine for me. I just had to install the os X driver from the iogear website.Thank you,

I must be the exception here, but this adaptor worked fine for me in XP and 2k. XP didn't even need the driver disk, but pulled a working driver off of windows update automatically. Worked with my old USR modem perfectly, and even worked connected to the console port of a Sun Ultra Enterprise box. 2k needed the driver downloaded off of the iogear website, but then worked perfectly.



If anything, it worked even better under linux: I didn't even have to do anything to get the driver to load; it just worked, where windows made me run through a wizard to get the driver loaded. I didn't try hot-plugging it under linux, but I don't see why it wouldn't work that way too. Even the minimal 50MB DSL distribution worked with this adaptor without any special configuration, again successfully using an old USR modem, and working as a console for a Sun Ultra Enterprise using `microcom -D/dev/ttyUSB0`.



I don't know what I'm doing any differently than the people that say they are having problems with this adaptor, but I've not had any indications of trouble from this device. Under windows, I'm using an old generic driver that was either from windows update (XP) or on the iogear website (2K). The XP driver I am using says it is for an `ATEN USB to Serial Bridge` and is dated 7/16/2003, version 2.0.0.18. Under linux, the generic pl2303 usbserial driver supports this device and gives you /dev/ttyUSBx device links.



I have had good luck with this device, the speed is pretty good and it's fairly small, taking up very little of my precious laptop bag real estate. The price was modest and the construction seems to be fairly durable. Since it is supported under linux, even on a restricted microdistributino like DSL, it is going to be of much more use to me than I might have expected, given that linux support is not listed on the box. I really don't see what else I could want: it works as advertised.

I was a bit concerned about how well this adapter would work after reading about some of the installation problems below ... but no problem ... it installed automatically in XP on my new Dell Dimension 2400 in seconds. Apparently the drivers have been updated for XP. The installation on my old Compaq laptop (Win ME) took a few clicks and a reboot (don't forget that) but was also quick and easy. It works great with my serial GPS. I like it.

I have read 20 other reviews of this product here on Amazon, and I sympathize with those for whom the product did not work. In the "open" world of PC hardware and Windows, there's a zillion drivers, written by who-knows-whom, and of dubious quality. Interactions between various system add-ons could cause problems, if a poorly written device driver "steps on" another one.



I only mention this because it is difficult to say if a particular product will work with YOUR system, even when it works for everyone else. This is true in any system (Mac OS 8, 9, 10, Linux, or Windows) where third party drivers are installed and run. You just never know until you try it. It's very likely, in the case of those who've had problems, that the IOGEAR driver isn't the real cause of the crashes at all -- it's just the "victim" of another device driver's bad behavior. There's really no good way to tell without trying it for yourself.



For me, I found NO problems installing and running this device. I plugged it into my system (a Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows XP SP2) and when the hardware wizard started up, it advised me to insert the driver disk into the CD.



I had asked the wizard to "let me select a driver from a list" and also to "search for a driver". After it sniffed the CD and the internet, it presented me with a list containing a handful of choices. I chose the most recent SIGNED driver on the supplied CD ROM. The version was v2.0.0.18.



Voila! Done, a new COM3: port was present on my system. The COM port works just fine with all the apps I've tried it with. In fact, I've installed TWO of these devices on the same machine, and then ran them with an MSDOS legacy application that implements a "serial channel analyzer"... it worked PERFECTLY!



(This is pretty incredible to me, because it means that Windows XP not only "virtualized" the two COM ports, but it mapped them correctly into the USB devices! The app in question is an MSDOS app that "touches" the serial I/O hardware directly and hooks the serial port interrupts! Windows fakes all of this out and makes it work CORRECTLY over the USB! Amazing!).



For those who are thinking of buying this product for use on Windows XP SP2, I would say go ahead and buy it. I've had nothing but success with it. - Usb Adapter - Serial Adapter - Iogear - 2009 Amazon Frustration-fre'

Htc Thunderbolt

Visit Store Now !!

The shipping was fast. thats great. The Screen protectors on the other hand are not even made for the Thunderbolt. It is way bigger than the screen and phone itself. Dont buy.. does not fit for Thunderbolt HTC ThunderBolt Anti-Fingerprint, Anti Glare - Matte Finishing Screen Protector ( 3 Pack )

The screen protectors I received were the correct size. However, there were visible streaks in them after I put them on the phone. Additionally, there were stickers attached to each protector to help remove them from the backing they came attached to. But, after putting them on the phone, trying to peel off these stickers resulted in a sticky, ugly, non-touchscreen-friendly mess. After 15 minutes of trying to get the gunk off I threw it away in frustration. Search elsewhere! And let me know if you find something that works.

I have never taken the time to rate a product on Amazon. However, these cheap pieces of plastic (which are incorrectly referred to as "screen protectors" but which won't actually protect your phone from anything) are such pieces of junk that I am compelled to post this review.



First, they are too small to even cover the whole Thunderbolt screen. I find it deceptive that they are being advertised for the Thunderbolt. That alone is reason not to buy them.



Second, they come with stickers on them that are impossible to remove without leaving them covered in adhesive residue.



Third, even if they did fit the Thunderbolt (which they don't), and even if they weren't covered in adhesive residue (which they are), the quality of these "protectors" (clearly a misnomer) is so poor that they won't protect your screen from anything.



In sum, these are a 0 out of 10. You are better off donating the $5 to charity.

Considering the price, these are the best screen protectors I've ever bought. Installation was easy and the size is good. They could stand to be 1/16" longer but not a big deal. I did screw up installation of the first protector but that's because I didn't realize that there was a protective film on both sides. They do pick up a lot of fingerprints and you'll find yourself wiping down your screen as much as if you had no screen protector on.



Screen looks great and is still very responsive. There are better screen savers out there but I see no reason to pay $10 or more considering how well these are working.

Unlike the reviews before me, I did not have a problem with the sticky residue or size being to large. The screen protector is in between to outer pieces of plastic (those each have a sticker labeled 1 and 2) and if you slowly peel of the outer pieces what's left is the screen protector. If you don't get both pieces off, you will be left with a sticker on one side. Application was simple, and the screen protector looked barely there. My main gripe is that it's advertised as anti fingerprint, but MAN I never saw that. I was constantly having to wipe of the prints, which I know on a touch screen phone you will have to do. Just didn't expect to have to do it that much. Anti glare was ok, but not what I would have expected. Great price, shipping was fast, but if your looking for true anti fingerprint pass these by.

I'm glad I did not see all the reviews before I bought the product. Makes me wonder if folks are describing their experience with something totally different. Terrific price. I only bought one pack so to test the product. Shipping was nearly as much as the product itself. Fits my Thunderbolt's screen like a glove. The matte finish is nice. I have literally tried to leave fingerprints on the cover and not seen any. Received the product as promised. Pretty simple to apply to my Thunderbolt. Would I order it again? Definitely.

Good quality protecters, thus far scratch resistance is great i actually tried scrathing it and nothing lol anti fingerprint is good..is better in sunny areas with antiglare but not 100% effective and i was worried the matte finish would dawl the look of the screen and it did alittle actually to the point where the screen doesnt look as sexy lol but i am going to continue using them for now worth the price but i wont buy more due to the matte finish only

I am not a big fan of these screen protectors...sure they are cheap so I got what I paid for, but the anti glare aspect makes the feel of Tue screen weird and rough... And this particular type was extremely hard to get the bubbles out. Even if u spend a few minutes trying you will still see some bubbles in the corners. They did stop fingerprints but the trade off in the feel wasn't worth it

I bought these guys and they're just god awful, they don't fit, they dilute the brightness, and can't protect from small scratches. Buy a ZAGG invisibleshield. it is amazing!ZAGG HTCMOCS invisibleSHIELD for HTC ThunderBolt (Screen) - Skin - Retail Packaging - Clear'

The light has really only got to do two things well: stay in place and provide glare-free light.



The clip mostly works, though it can be dislodged rather easily. The clamp is not a levered-clothespin, but a parallel clamp that doesn't exert a whole lot of pressure when in place. Not a dealbreaker for bedtime readers, but just don't expect to leave this thing in place while walking around the house or transporting in a bag.



The LEDs put out as much light as a decent flashlight. It's not a peaceful, soft glow but a serious task light on a gooseneck. It's bright enough to annoy a spouse... even a spouse that's watching TV. If Belken knocked the lower setting down to about 1/3 its current brightness, it'd be plenty bright for reading the Kindle. The switch is on the lamp head, which itself is pretty small. Flicking the tiny switch with a thumbnail isn't that bad, but it's easy to flick right past the lower setting and end up lighting up the whole bedroom for a second --before switching the thing off by accident (missing the lowest setting, again). By doing this you end up creating a momentary disco effect in the bedroom just trying to get the thing turned on.



Having AAAs instead of coin batteries in the light is a welcome convenience. You're more likely to have AAAs around the house than some little watch battery. Changing the batts is as simple as changing the batts in a TV remote control; there are no little screws contend with. I haven't had it long enough to judge its battery life, though.



But be aware that the using 3xAAAs in a light does add a considerable amount of weight to the top of the Kindle. The concern isn't really with the weight it adds, but the way it affects the balance and ergonomics of the Kindle. I found the I had to hold the Kindle up a bit higher than I was used to. Holding something for an hour or two, you find that a little change can make a big difference. I found I liked clipping the light to the bottom of the Kindle to keep the center of balance low. But, this covers up the space bar and some other keys. The next best thing is to clip it to the side of the Kindle I'm holding, just above the page turn buttons.



Pro:

AAA battery's easily available and simple to replace

2 brightness settings

Flexible head is easily adjustable for glare-free reading



Con:

Too bright. Even on it's dimmer setting, it lights half the bedroom.

Heavy, affects the handling and balance of the Kindle Belkin Clip-On Reading Light for Kindle (White)

Like Periwinkle I have been collecting various lights for my Kingle 2. After reading Perkiwinkle's review, I bought this light. I absolutely love it. It is much lighter than all the other lights for the Kindle 2. It can be adjusted where there is no glare. I have been using it every day for going on a couple weeks. I do a lot of night reading so the weight, amount of light is important to me. I find this to be the perfect lightweight and the amount of light perfect.



Now I have to figure out what to do with those other lights as this is the perfect light for the Kindle 2.



I have a gel cover on my Kindle 2 and the light fits over it very well. Admittedly it is a snug fit, but that what I would want.



I would give this 100 stars if I could.

So i've been surfing around for a light for my kindle for a bit, the only requirements being that it lights up my kindle and wont hurt it/scratch it. As per these preconditions i've been hesitant to buy some of the others that you can get like the Great Point Light Flex Neck Clip-On reading light or the M-Edge e-Luminator2 Booklight because i also like to read with my kindle 'naked'.



So i saw this one and decided to give it a go -

- Does a great job lighting up my kindle, there are no glare spots that cant be coaxed away

- Fits on my kindle like a glove, an im not worried about any damage done because of the anti-slip grip

- It's nice and light so you barley notice it when your holding your kindle

- It squishes up for easy travel

- And kudos to the 'guaranteed frustration free packaging' which i just found amusing



Overall, i am very happy

For those of you who have tried to find reading lights for your Kindle, you know there are surprisingly few to choose from on Amazon (at least at the time I looked). After reading reviews on the ones available, I decided on this one. I can't compare it to others, like some reviewers have, but I can say I love it. It's light and compact and easy to carry and use. The light has 2 settings, high and low. High is a little too bright for the 6" Kindle but may be needed for the DX. The low setting is fine and even tho there is a bit of glare, you can adjust that by moving the light a bit to counter. So far, the batteries (3 AAA) are lasting a long time. I am very happy with this purchase and hope my review helps in your decision. - Kindle 2 Book Light - Reading Light - Kindle Accessory - Kindle Book Light'
