I was concerned that it might be wider than my present m-edge light that fits in the jacket, but it appears that that are both 1/2 inch wide so it should be ok. I also like that it is slightly shorter than the kindle on both ends, which will make zipping easier. I will let you know how it works out, I'm very excited about it.

Mike - one more question  I know that one of the covers that hinged in had problems with static or something.....would lose your page, turn the kindle off, stuff like that. I know that it was tested well, did you see any kind of issues to expect from it? I ordered several of these lights because I love the idea of having a light that does not use batteries, and yet you could use if with a different cover. I also ordered one for my husband. I have ordered the Oberon sleeve because it is lightweight but provides protection when taking my kindle everywhere. I like to read without a cover because the kindle is lighter. I really only use a light at night when I read. Thanks! |

Do you have any covers that could test to see how they fit with the light? I would really like to see it inside a cover.

Thanks I will have to order one for my husband because he travels a lot. Is it the one for the 3rd generation or would that be too tight? We have the 3rd generation kindles, but would we need to get the 2nd generation size sleeve for the light to fit? I just would not want it to be too tight.
thanks! |

Hello Yorkie Lady, Our SimpleSleeves for Kindle do fit the 3rd with the light, its a little tight, but not excessively. We would say its just about right! Regards, Mike Grantwood Technology |

If this fits with an Oberon sleeve, I may be very tempted to give up my lighted Amazon kindle cover.

If anyone with a M-Edge Platform cover gets this light please let us know if it works with this cover. I've looked at mine and the bottom corner is quite close to the bottom slot and seems like it would keep the light out just enough to not let it seat well. I love the idea of this light though, it is great!

A couple of people have mentioned Oberon covers, but I haven't seen that you've replied as to whether or not your light would work with one - have you tested it? Any pictures? Thanks!

I have also been looking for a light. I gave my lighted Amazon cover to my father when I got him a K3. I got a light to use at night, but the light doesn't stay still if I try to lie down in bed. I am using an Oberon cover. I would also like to know if the light would fit in the cover? Also, does the light press against the left hand buttons on the Kindle that make it hard to press the buttons?

I have ordered an Oberon sleeve and a light, so I can let you know. I would be very happy if they both fit in the sleeve, but the photos of the sleeve look like it fits pretty snug..... |

My question is, does it fit with a cover not a sleeve. I travel a lot for work and always have it in a cover for protection. |

Hello Toby, As we stated we have not tested it with multiple covers. The SimpleLight does snap on the side of the Kindle. The left side buttons are not covered and useable, but its a bit more difficult to use the left handed buttons, but not impossible or terribly tricky. Mike Grantwood Technology |

I think it would be worth your while to figure out if it works with an Oberon cover. I think more people use Oberon covers on this board than any other cover and most have been wishing for a light such as this that would work with that cover. I believe it would increase your business exponentially if it works with the Oberon.

I'd be very surprised if it worked with an Oberon cover. Oberon covers appear to be no wider than the Amazon covers which leaves no room for a light to nest down the middle of the spine and still be able to close the cover. In fact the only light that could accommodate an Oberon is a clip-on that gets removed and put away when not in use, just like the lightless Amazon cover. I returned my Amazon cover for that reason. I like this style of light and until now, m-edge was the only one that made one and it's not a bad light except that it's battery operated which is a bit of a pain for those of us that doze off reading. That's why I'm so excited about this one.
Wow, the geek in me is totally out of control, isn't it?

I'm thinking you would have to remove the light to close most covers. But I'm still interested in hearing reviews.

Hello Patricia, Probably true for most cases. Sleeves may be fine, Like our SimpleSleeve. The light does come with its own case and certainly, you can remove your Kindle or remove some straps, etc, to use the light. Regards, Mike Grantwood Technology |

Thanks for the info. I look forward to see if the light works with the Oberon Sleeve.

Hopefully it will work for those of us with flip-top style covers. |
