Got one as a gift. Have been a VERY loyal moleskine customer. Calendars, notebooks, pens, you name it.  was excited when i got this gift, opened it and charged it. BUT THE SWITCH WOULD NOT WORK.  It will light up while the USB charging is going on.  But once the item is disengaged, it will not do anything independently.  click the power on and off is like doing it to a dead switch. nothing happens.  I wrote Moleskine to complain about this.  They told me that they have very strict quality control (REALLY!?), and that my defective piece was an isolated case.  Told me to bring the item to a retailer with a receipt or bank statement and that I would be sorted (SERIOUSLY, REALLY?)  I wrote them back that I got it as a gift, and therefore have no proof of purchase, so where will I get a replacement item?  I told them they can either send a replacement to me, OR they can keep defending their "Made in China" suppliers/manufacturers -- and let's see where they will go with that.  I have no reply since.  I feel very frustrated that this is a company that does not listen or protect their customers.  On the contrary, they are trying to protect their reputation-- when clearly this is a quality control and/or production issue that they need to address with their manufacturers in China.  EXTREMELY bad product from a company that does not care.  Let's see if they get back to me about a replacement.  I don't think they will take that step.  And I do not think I will ever buy another Moleskine product -- not just the book light but ALL Moleskine products.  Horrible.
