M-Edge e-Luminator lights up your Kindle

M-Edge e-Luminator lights up your Kindle

The Amazon Kindle comes with decent black leather case, but it doesn’t do a very good job of holding the device securely in place when the front flap is opened. There is also no backlighting on the Kindle so you need good lighting to read with the device. M-Edge has two solutions that integrate with each other to address both of these issues and I was pleased to finally find such an elegant solution.

The upper right strap is a bit different because it is designed to let you slide it on and off to access the power and wireless switches on the Kindle. There is nylon and leather on this strap.

e-Luminator light kit

You get a battery with the e-Luminator light and can see how the unit is presented. You will need some kind of case to hold the large securing bar and the M-Edge case are designed perfectly to support this light solution.

An Energizer A23 battery is included with the light. I haven’t had to replace it yet and will need to read for many more hours I imagine before a replacement is needed.

The light is on the end of a flexible steel bar and can be positioned where you get the best view. I found the light to be soft and bright enough to light up the entire Kindle display. It is so refreshing to have a nice light solution and I have actually been reading more with this accessory.
