    I have the version with two brightness levels. It clamps onto my Nook Touch reader well, and If I lift up the articulating lamp I can keep the light in place while closing the cover I use with my reader. I cant complain about the illumination which is bright and broad - especially compared to the single LED Nook light I was using before. I just had to change the batteries and was surprised at how fussy the procedure is. The battery compartment is held in place with a tiny screw, so you need a jewelers screwdriver. The batteries stack and you have to get the bottom one under a tab before you can add the second cell. Keeping the batteries in place while replacing the door and its screw is somewhat tricky. Im frankly disappointed that changing batteries requires a tool, requires removal of a small (easy to lose) screw, and it requires some artful reassembly technique. Considering how fast this light burns through batteries, youll need to change cells often enough that the poor compartment design is a problem. And youll need to carry a screwdriver to change cells when you travel. A second minor complaint is that I can fold the articulating arm down in contact with the reader and its hard to tell that the LEDs are on since the lamp head is opaque. This light would be improved if there was a translucent portion of the lamp assembly that would serve as an indicator lamp to warn you if the lights still on when the arm is folded flat.

    I tend to toss things into my purse so a book light with a long neck was definitely out of the question. The kandle II folds into a sturdy little block and they also include a pouch to store it in. If I am going to travel with a book light, I feel this would stand up to the jostling in my purse pretty well. So far so good! I have the latest version of the plain kindle and the amazon-produced leather kindle cover without the light. The kandle II clips on to the kindle just fine whether it is in or out of the cover. The only improvement I would want is for the clip to be adjusted so that it doesnt slide down further down onto the kindle screen. However, it is a small complaint. As long as you are careful not to knock it around, the kandle should stay in place just fine and for the low price, I am willing to put up with this very minor inconvenience. I love that there are two brightness settings and I find the low setting to be fine most of the time. Another great feature is the fact that it will turn off automatically if you fold the light closed which is fantastic. Its the small details like this which really sold me on this booklight. I definitely feel the quality is worth the price and I would advise anyone to get one.

    As others have noted, the color and texture of this device are nearly perfect matches for the Kindle 3. Compared to other devices Ive examined, though not used, the weight, light distribution and overall functionality of this unit cannot be beat. My only knock on this unit pertains to the clip. I use my Kindle without a case and while the clip is perfectly functional and secures effectively to the top of the Kindle itself (one of the initial selling points of this lamp), I wish the back of the clip was a bit longer or the spring a bit more resistant just so I wouldnt feel that the light may slip off the top. I anticipate battery life to be excellent due to the use of LEDs which emit a comfortable bluish glow. Two sets of button type batteries are included - one installed and one to keep with an included storage pouch and small screwdriver for when that day eventually comes.

    I was really surprised after receiving the Kandle II on their attention to quality and detail. The packaging was really well done. They provide a little tool, an extra set of batteries, and a nice carrying case for the device. I was concerned when I saw it online that any light attached to my Kindle would cause a significant weight burden and make holding my device less comfortable. I dont know what materials this Kandle is made out of, but it is LIGHT. I have no issues attaching it and reading on my Kindle. The other thing is that it provides nice little felt like protection on the grip so there are no scratches onto the Kindle. The 2 light settings are interesting. I read with either one depending on my eyes sensitivity to light. There is a light drop off which is to be expected, but I am able to read perfectly fine. I really like the device and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to read when its dark. Also the graphite color matches my Kindle.

    Not much more to say that others havent said. Its smaller then you might think when compared to the photos on this site, and thats a positive in my view. I have it clipped on the top of my basic model Kindle. It provides more then enough light using just the low-level light setting. You can easily switch back and forth from high to low if necessary. You can read in total darkness without waking your spouse. It bevels up/down to eliminate any glare issues. And the coolest part for me is this; it makes reading more fun. From suspenseful to scary books, it helps create a nice reading atmosphere. For $20 buy it, I seriously doubt youll have any regrets.

    I purchased this product to use while reading in bed with my Kindle Touch. Simply said, it does exactly what I needed. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the unevenness of the page coverage. The bottom of the page is slightly dimmer than the top. This is a very minor complaint however, and doesnt affect the ability to read. I also like the compactness of the Kandle. Seems a much better solution than the products that use unwieldly gooseneck lamps.

    I love reading in bed before I go to sleep, however, I married a great guy who is disturbed by the lamp light being on. This little light doesnt disturb his sleep, and I can read to my hearts content. I like the fact that it turns off when closed and has two brightness settings. Although it is basically low profile it still has to be clipped to the outside cover or removed to store the reader when not in use. Not a big deal, it is still a great addition to my Kindle Reader.

    I have a Nook Simple Touch with their Lautner cover and the Kandle by Ozeri II fits perfectly. I place the light on the Nook device or on the cover - either way there is ample light. I am 70 years old and require good light to read and this Kandle is great. It is small and you need to be somewhat dexterous to mount and use it properly. My husband with his big sausage fingers might find it a little difficult. So far I have only used the Kandle while reading in bed at night with all other lights out. It does not disturb my husband at all. I am looking forward to using it when we travel in our camper or when we are tent camping.

    This is the perfect reading light for your traditional book or e-reader! With 3 LED lights situated horizontally across the frame, and 2 brightness levels, you have all the light you need to read in comfort wherever you are. Lights illuminate the whole page, with only slightly less brightness at the very bottom of the page. The patent pending grip does not block the screen on any eBook reader. Works well on regular books as well--no blocking text, and plenty of light so no eyestrain. I easily positioned this light on my Kindle, which has a cover, and I can still close and secure the cover even with the light attached. Very convenient! Comes with 2 CR2O32 batteries installed (plus an extra set of batteries). Also comes with a protective pouch for traveling. Very lightweight and compact. The best portable reading light Ive tried! Ill keep this light for decades!

    this is the best light i have bought for my kindle. i bought a rechargeable one when i order my kindle (a 40 dollar one) and that was this past christmas. and it already was not working any more. of course i was very disappointed and angry because it hasnt been a yr since i bought it and it was a rechargeable one and one of the more expensive. this time i order this light, i like it alot better, one it was cheaper, it has a button to make the light brighter if needed from the regular light which is pretty bright in itself. its a little big for the top of my kindle and a slight heavy, but i would buy it again if i had to, i just wish the batteries were rechargeable, but other than that it is a GREAT kindle light and can fit some books as well.
