> 3 dayIt lights the Kindle screen just fine. I like the fact that it has two settings, and that it comes with extra batteries (whoo hoo!) and a pouch. What would make it absolutely perfect is if the back part of the clip were thinner -- thin enough to slide between the Kindle and my Verso cover without stretching the elastic bands that hold the Kindle in the cover. But thats probably not possible, given that they have to put the batteries somewhere. And even the Verso lights arent designed that way. Other than that, this is a great little reading light.

> 3 dayI really like the design of this booklight. I had one of the bendy booklights before and it made the kindle harder to hold with one hand and I was constantly readjusting the position. This one provides more light and feels more stable. I would give it five stars except the batteries that came with the light didnt even last me an entire book. The light did come with replacement batteries which I have now used. Im worried that they will burn out when Im on vacation or something so Im going to order more. Im a little frusterated that Im already ordering batteries when Ive only had this item for a week and a half and havent even made it through an entire novel with it.

> 3 dayI have not tried another so I have nothing to to compare it with but 5 star it is not. A $20 flashlight, really? I own a kindle paperwhite and bought this for my wifes old original kindle. It would have been an better investment to buy her a paperwhite and transfer her library to it. It works OK except when reading in a totally dark room towards the last line or two at the bottom of the screen; especially noticeable when using the dictionary feature with its tiny font. It has two brightness settings but the 2nd one disturbs my spouse. The spring clip is very strong but the slick pads against the slick case of the kindle makes for a slippery connection and it moves about with little prodding. Where it shines (no pun intended) is when reading in a dimly lit room.

> 3 dayI received the Kandle as a Christmas gift to replace my other book light. I was using a mighty bright with a flexible neck but I found it was so top heavy it kept falling off my Kindle if moved even slightly. This product has been great. It stays where you put it, it has two brightness settings and can be angled a couple different ways. The Kandle is nice and small and it still lights up the entire screen. The only downside is that the product clip is a little too deep. When pushed all the way onto the Kindle it comes down over the screen. I use the Kindle Touch and I can still see the top line of text but Im not sure if this would be an issue on any other device. Over all I love this product and definitely recommend it!

> 3 dayNice book light. It puts out plenty of light for reading, I think both the semi-bright and full bright work well in poorly lit reading areas. The only complaint I have is that the reading light is a little loose on my Kindle. While adjusting the light if its not held firmly, the whole thing kind of moves around but once youve got everything the way you want it, it stays put.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayI just received my Kandle II in the mail. I used it the first night and was satisfied. I was kind of mislead that there were three settings when off counts as a setting. I did not notice a huge difference between the two light modes. However,I was surprised at how small and compact the Kandle II is and how nicely it.fits on top of the Kindle. It does not really get in the way of reading. I only wish that the Kandle II would fit better when the M-Edge Executive cover is closed. Over all it does do the job though.

> 3 dayI am using a Nook Touch, not a kindle, so I was a little concerned that it wouldnt work as well (grip the case or get in the way) on a different device. I was very pleasantly suprised. The illumination is sufficiently adjustable, both in terms of the intensity and the angle, to provide clear and bright illumination across the screen. The width of the light insures that it provides even illumination across the screen as well. Cant comment yet on the battery life but I dont read under very dim conditions too often so I am expecting quite a while. The only down side to this has been the lack of a rechargeable battery. Nice job.

Greater than one weekAt $20, the Kandle is probably the best reading light I have used. The three bulbs give even illumination across the screen and from top to bottom. The clip-on design is wide and provides a stable fit across the top of my Kindle. The gray color closely matches that of the Kindle. The design is very ergonomic and compliments the Kindle well. I have used various lighting solutions for my Kindle e-reader and found that the Kandle works best for me. Other worm lights and even the Kindle lighted cover do not illuminate as evenly as the Kandle. Pros: Easy use, even illumination, nice design, and long battery life. Cons: Doesnt use the Kindles battery but this is a fair trade-off.

22-11-2024I was very hesitant on buying a little light for the price, but am very satisfied. It is very lightweight and I like that it doesnt weigh my Kindle down when firmly attached. The different light settings are great!! The low setting is very useful for cloudy days and the highest setting works great while reading in bed. It comes with a nice little pouch to hold the Kandle when not in use and still has room for extra batteries and the little screwdriver. The only downfall is the positioning of the on/off switch as it is a little difficult to turn on when attached to the Kindle. I would recommend this light to anybody looking for a nice, high quality light.
