I just received my E-Luminator light from M-Edge today. I like it. The M-Edge (new style) cover works fine, both opened and closed, with the light in place. The light is soft and even across the screen and the flexible neck makes it easy to adjust. This is powered by an LED and uses an A23 battery (included). Unfortunately the battery isn't recharagable and, so far, I haven't seen this size in any of the stores where I normally purchase batteries.
The small metal plate on the top end of the light slides into a slot in the cover, underneath the Kindle. It's 7" long and weighs 1 1/8 ounces. Price is under $10. There may be some delay in shipping according to Amazon's product listing today. My light was originally scheduled to be received after the 25th, so it came a few days early.
For folks who are interested in what a "fully-loaded" Kindle weighs, here's what I came up with:
-- Kindle (with a DecalGirl skin and 4GB SD card installed) 10.5 ounces;
-- M-Edge Executive Jacket (leather), new style 7 1/8 ounces;
-- M-Edge E-luminator light 1 1/8 ounces;
-- Original Kindle cover 6 3/8 ounces;
-- Softcover book (300 pages, 5x8") 11 3/4 ounces; and
-- Hardcover book (290 pages, 6 1/4x9 1/4") 17 1/2 ounces.
So, my Kindle, with a nice M-Edge cover and other accessories, weighs a tiny bit more than a "typical" hardcover book -- 18.75 ounces for the dressed up Kindle and 17 1/2 ounces for the hardcover book and dust jacket. Of course, that's not counting the built-in dictionary (sorry, my digital scale only goes up to 5 pounds - so no comparison there), a music player (my MP3 player weighs 2 ounces), and (so far) the 15 books I've loaded on to my Kindle!
