Kandle by Ozeri II Book Light -- LED Reading Light Designed for Books and eReaders.

Purchased in June 2011, worked for about 4 to 5 weeks, thought the batteries needed replacement, worked for another few weeke, then had to replace batteries again. After about 3-4 months, does not work. Light flickers on & off. Contacted Amazon but because it was past 30 days, could not return. Contacted the vender listed via e-mail. No response at all. So now Im out $25 + S&H charges and no light for my Kindle. I feel swindled....VERY disappointed that Amazon could not give me any further direction as to how to proceed with replacement or refund. Anyone else experience this problem? Any solutions out there? 3-21-12: I was contacted by the vendor within 24 hours of my review...They replaced the light within a weeks time, new light working fine at this time...will keep posted if any further problems.

Because of all the issues I have read about and heard about with the lighted Kindle covers I refused to buy one. However most of my reading is done at night so I needed a light. I bought several different lights in the three weeks I have owned my Kindle and none of them worked the way I wanted. They didnt light the whole page, they had a horrible glare, they got in the way of my reading, they burned out quickly and so on. The Kandle on the other hand is PERFECT!!!! I can angle the light, it clips on without being in the way, there is no horrible glare,and best of all the light stays on the Kindle and not all over the room so I can read in bed and not disturb my husband. It also works great on regular books as my husband was using it the other day while reading. He also found that it is the perfect light to use in dark places with instruction manuals. I love the Kandle as it fits perfectly inside my neoprene cases zipper pocket when I do not need it. Plus the fact that for the price it also comes with batteries, an extra set of batteries and a screw driver for the battery compartment. Plus to order replacement batteries is only $5 for 25 batteries...that is a steal compared to the other lights I have purchased. I have used this light for a total of 49.5 hours so far and it is still just as bright as the day it arrived. Another benefit is that there are two light settings..bright and brighter so I can adjust it to fit my needs and neither one produces a glare. This light makes my Kindle experience even better!

This is a great light. Its small, bright, sleek and fits right onto my Kindle Touch. I leave it there all the time, so Im never hunting around for it. It seems pricey, but I think the design is definitely worth it. After about 45 days I started to have problems with it NOT turning off; batteries dying...no good! Amazon was only offering a partial refund and ME paying return shipping. No thank you, not for a $25 book light! I contacted Ozeri directly. Theres where the value comes in: I explained my problem and disappointment. I got a reply in less than 24 hours, sent them my order# from Amazon and within 24 hours after that I had a new light in my mailbox. That is service and that makes for loyal customers! Love my light and Love Ozeri...

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 found that this product has several annoying design defects which could have been easily avoided. Its impossible to adjust the light so that it illuminates the page evenly. Consequently, when attached to the top of the Kindle it is difficult to read the bottom of the page. If you try to adjust the clip to better illuminate the bottom of the page, the clip will cover the print at the top of the page. A slightly longer neck would ameliorate this problem. The placement of the push button on/off switch is also a problem. Its all too easy to inadvertently turn the unit on while its in the closed position. When it is closed, its difficult to notice that the unit is turned on. This can be particularly problematic if you use it while traveling and stick it in your bag with your computer/phone accessories. I went through one set of batteries the first week because of this. A slightly recessed sliding switch would avoid this problem or better yet, have the unit turn on when you open it and turn off when you close it. It should also be noted that replacing the batteries requires its own screwdriver, so if you dont make a point of taking it with you when you travel, you may be out of luck.

This book light has a very nice feel to it. Quality manufacturing. Comes with an extra set of batteries which is a nice touch. It has an auto shut feature, the light will go off when you snap it closed. No need to depress the Power button. The light has two brightness settings which comes in handy when reading in bed next to your spouse. The only negative I can think of is that the Kindle page is illuminated unevenly no matter how you position the light. Brighter on top, less bright toward the bottom of the page. This issue is not specific to this product but to book lights in general. So really it is not a knock on the Kandle. Since I already own two Kindle readers and a Kindle Fire I didnt want to spring for the Kindle Paperwhite. This was the next best option.

I recently purchased a Kindle, and wanted a nice light to go with it. Despite all my friends advice, I decided against the official cover with light, and went for a regular cover and a Kandle II. I couldnt be happier with my decision. First of all, this product is very useful and in my opinion is the best at its job. It fits well on the Kindle, it illuminates the whole screen, and it has two levels of brightness. It even comes with a carrying pouch and extra batteries! If you were to change your kindle (or any e-reader) to one with different dimensions, you can still use the Kandle. You can even use it with regular books that are not too thick (it might be a little annoying when passing the pages, but you can use it with regular books). I am overall very satisfied with the product itself. Now onto Ozeri itself. There was a small problem with my order (related to the shipping process, not the quality of the product), and I received fantastic customer service from them. Really, fantastic. They were very nice all the way and did more than solve the problem. That being said, I definitely recommend the Kandle for your e-reader, and I would definitely buy from Ozeri again.

I bought this recently so I could stop bugging my husband with a lamp when I read after he goes to sleep. Its really great! It does clip on, which I didnt notice before I got it. Since the clip is so wide, I dont worry about it damaging my kindle like I did when I was using a regular book light. The light reaches all the way to the bottom of the page. The only thing I wish was different on it is that I wish it had a slightly dimmer setting. I think my eyes get sensitive at night, and it would be even less of a bother for sleeping partners that way. (I kind of assume a lot of people get them for that reason.)

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.

This is my second candle book light, and I absolutely love them BUT while they’re some minor improvements there’s a problem with the battery compartment and cover !! Obviously since this is the second one I have the correct ones, and know the procedure. But the two batteries have a little bit of spring loaded action going on and it is nijgh on to impossible to close the cover. A lot disappointing because the oid unit has a switch or something and either flickers if it comes on. But it is old and I give it 5 stars….nothing lasts forever. But duct tape on my brand new unit. Sure, I could return it but it’s a design flaw.
