I will introduce one concept and two real products for bookworms who like to read at night but having difficulties disturbing near person with the light source.
The MARK bookmark is just an excellent concept thought by Avnish Priya Gautnam. During the day, it’s like any other bookmark but at night, glows to illuminate your pages via FOLED (Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology. The intensity of light can be controlled according to the reader’s requirements. It has won 2007 Design concept award at Red Dot. Not manufactured yet.
The other ones are LightWedge Paperback
A lighted, distortion-free acrylic lens extends across the book page and emits all the brightness directly onto the book page, reducing shadows and glare. Since the light is emitted directly onto the page, there’s no excess reflection to disturb others nearby.
The LightWedge Paperback is thin and lightweight and easily slips into a backpack, tote bag, or briefcase. Also, when not in use, it is useful as a convenient bookmark stored between a book’s pages. The bright LEDs that illuminate the LightWedge Paperback
The same great LightWedge but now in a smaller and more convenient size. The LightWedge Mini

I happen to own a light wedge paperback and it is the best thing in the world perfect for reading at night
Wow those gadgets are great. I heard that Philips will launch an ebook with an elastic display that looks and feels like plastic / paper – great for reading in the sun and in the night;-)
hope this is not out of the topic though…

This is definitely a great help if you want to read late and your bedmate wants to retire early. So it is only being considerate to use a lighted gadget and not affect the other sleeper. What else will they think next?
These reading lights are cool ideas!
I particularly like the “LightWedge Paperback”…it would be very useful when reading a book in bed at night. It will reduce eye straining when reading at night.

I like these lights. I am always fighting with the clip on lights, having to adjust them and they often don’t light enough stuff up,
Wow, those mini-lights are great. With those, I would be able to read real books — not just e-books — even if my room is dark.
