I have a Lightwedge for paperbacks and it is a pain to use with the reader. You have to move it out of the way each time you want to turn the page. (It makes me want to have a remote for the reader.) Also when you are reading with it it is awkward to hold. It does work, sorta, but a reading light is much better.

The book "Vanguard Book One" and "Acts of Treason" that I got early on, had the Large size in the horizontal position larger than subsequent books, such as "Echo Park," etc. These were one size smaller in the largest size. In the former larger size, I measured the height of a capital letter "H." In the first, largest size, it was 5 mm or 6/32 of an inch. In the rest, all smaller, the same letter was only 4 mm, or 5/32 of an inch. That is a significant difference in type size, and accounts for my distress at not being able to get the larger size any more. |

Right now my main problem is I am falling asleep while I read and not getting to read, LOL..... Yesterday I dropped the book a couple of times as I dozed (my reason I would never read the tub)......that would be actual death to my reader. (tiny bubbles).............Today I am dozing as well. Yes the book is good, it's just something I have done forever because I like to read on the couch laying down, guess I get to comfy. |

Color totally wouldn't match, but my 'old' Wii remote strap (that they are sending a replacement for) would probably work.

Do Sony actually sell a wrist strap as an accessory? Seems a bit strange to have a connector for one and not supply it! I didn't realise that there was any sort of "standard" for the way that these things attached

I haven't seen one listed in the accessories, just the charger and the colored bookcases

I'm using one I picked up at a camera shop, any of them with a small enough thready thingy will work. And no, Sony doesn't offer one. I remarked to them that I thought it was odd that they didn't include one with the Reader. As a side note, the Sony reps. at the Texas Book Festival were using PSP wrist lanyards.
