Ear-mounted LED flashlight
The I-Sight is a mini LED flashlight that fits comfortably on your ear. It throws a fairly powerful beam, given that it's so small. I have been using it to read books at night. I usually read books on my Palm handheld when I wake up with insomnia and can't get back to sleep (which seems to happen almost every night for the last decade) but I'm having so much fun re-reading all the Philip Jose Farmer books I read as a teenager, that I'm willing to put up with real books and a flashlight to read them. I've tried book mounted night-lights, but this is better. $12.95 on Amazon

Nice. Radio Shack's been selling these for about a year or so. I use one to see where my fingers need to be during live electronic shows. Plus it just looks cool. :)
I got one of these at an office xmas party two years ago. I use it for the exact same thing as you, reading traditional books at night. I got tired of reading on a PocketPC and went back to good old paper versions.
It also is a great gadget to have in your pocket during hurricane season (I live in S. Florida and have been through 4 hurricanes in the last two years with a combined 17-20 days without power). Keep this little thing with you and you're prepared whenever the power goes, or you can use a bathroom in the pitch dark hands-free!
