  • It is nice to see the move from A23 batteries to standard AAA batteries.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The e-Luminator2 is slightly longer than the first generation booklight with a longer base to support the AAA battery.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • You simply pressed a top button on the first gen light to turn it on and off. You now have the option of going to one of two different lighting levels with the e-Luminator2.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The LED bulb is quite bright and should last a lifetime.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • Here you can see the new bulb (left) and older generation bulb (right) housing.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The top simply screws off to reveal the AAA battery compartment.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The e-Luminator2 (right) does not have an outer coating like the first generation (left) that actually gives the light more flexibility to get into just the right position.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The light can be rotated through 180 degress to find the optimal viewing angle.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • Here you can see the plastic mechanism for rotating the light.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

  • The e-Luminator has two settings and this photo shows the Kindle display with the lower intensity setting.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • This shot show the Kindle display with the brighter setting. There is very little difference between the two and using it on the lower intensity works just fine for me.

  • Here is a look at the black Latitude Jacket for the Kindle 2.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • There is a pocket on the front that lets you access a space across the device. You can use this to store the light and charger.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The outer material is ripstop so it will stay intact. There is a long pocket for the e-Luminator on the upper back.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The Latitude Jacket is lined in polar fleece to give you a nice soft interior with added protection.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • There are four corner brackets that do a good job of holding the Kindle 2 in place.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The corner bracket has a soft side underneath while also having a good shape to hold the Kindle in place.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The blue color Sleeve Jacket is quite attractive and has a soft feel to the outer material. There is some M-Edge branding on the front too.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

  • There is a zippered pocket in the back for storing your charger and other materials.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • There is a carrying handle found inside the left side, spine zippered pocket.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • Half of the case opens up so you can slide your Kindle in and out.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The interior is soft and well padded so you should have no worries about keeping your Kindle safe inside the compartment.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The zippers all appear to be very high quality materials with the M-Edge branding attached.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The Sleeve Jacket adds very little bulk to the Kindle 2 package.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • Here you can see where the zipper terminates after wrapping around the right side.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • And in this view you can see the zipper goes almost over to the left side along the bottom.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

  • The lime green is definitely visible to help you from losing your Kindle DX.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)

    Caption by: Matthew Miller

  • The handle is stored in a zippered pocket along the spine.

    Published: July 20, 2009 -- 23:31 GMT (16:31 PDT)
