Just because the rest of the world is switching to Kindles and other e-readers doesn’t mean that actual books have been consigned to the dark ages. The Verilux PageLight lies across the page you’re reading and evenly illuminates it using three natural-spectrum LED bulbs. A built-in dimmer allows you to adjust the light level to avoid eyestrain, while the glare-free screen “doubles as a bookmark.” The PageLight is built to run for 50 hours on three AAA batteries.
