@tkin - hows the soundbar .. could u post a pic of it around ur laptop / monitor or tv if possible? enough sound to fill a small room?

Its big, but not that big, compared to a tv its ok, even small I'd say, doesn't take too much space, powered by USB. Has manual volume control.

Size reference to 15" laptop:

Sound is high enough to fill a medium sized room, but at 80%+ sound there is screeching and distortion as expected from cheap speakers. Best sound is heard from about 5 feet distance in front.

I'm not going to put this up in front of the TV now, as my 21" CRT doesn't require this :p[DOUBLEPOST=1414826975][/DOUBLEPOST]

why would you need a seperate reading light on an ebook reader. Just curious.

E-Ink is different from LCD/CRT/Plasma or other display technologies. There's no backlighting - so external light source is necessary.

http://www.eink.com/technology.html

E Ink displays are also referred to as "reflective displays." In an LCD, or "emissive display", light from a backlight is projected through the display towards your eyes. In an E Ink display, no backlight is used; rather, ambient light from the environment is reflected from the surface of the display back to your eyes. As with any reflective surface, the more ambient light, the brighter the display looks. This attribute mimics traditional ink and paper, and users of E Ink displays have said that they do not have the same eye fatigue as with LCDs when reading for long periods of time. The backlight can also consume up to 40% of the power used in electronic product. Therefore, eliminating the need for a backlight significantly increases the battery life versus using a traditional LCD. - See more at: http://www.eink.com/technology.html#sthash.fuRIDVLc.dpuf

But Kindle paperwhite, Kobo Glow are newer e-ink readers which do not need external light.
