> 3 dayThe Kandle II works wonderfully with my Kindle touch and is just what I was looking for. Please note that reviews stating that the light remains on when the unit is closed are NOT accurate for the Kandle II. Perhaps that is true with the Kandle, however the Kandle II very definitely shuts off when it is closed. In fact, the next time it is opened, the on/off switch must be re-activated for the light to come on. I love the fact that I can clip this light to any edge of my Kindle. This is particularly useful when I read in bed on my side. I would recommend this product to anyone.

> 3 dayThe light is very easy to attach to my kindle touch. The padding on the clip itself is great so there no chance of scratching or damaging the kindle. The light gives all enough light and even better you got two options on brightness. Another great thing I like about it is that it came with a battery in the light itself and also had two additional batteries for future use. Most time your lucky to get a battery with things these days. The light is small and dont get in way of reading. it has its own velvet carrying bag with straps while not in use. Overall the light is great. no uses that i can tell of yet.

> 3 dayNot 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.

> 3 dayBecause 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!

> 3 dayI needed a light for my Kindle touch that would actually fit ON the Kindle. I also needed to be not too bright, because I wanted to read while I was nursing the baby in the middle of the night, and I didnt want it to wake him up. This light clips on via clamp, so it fits on my Kindle or on the case, and it has two brightness settings, so I can choose how much light I want/need. I find this incredibly useful. This is the third light I bought for the Kindle. The first one didnt work, and the second one didnt fit. This one was a bit more expensive than the other two, but since it works it was well worth it. I wish I would have just bought this one in the first place. I highly recommend it.

> 3 dayI bought this for the Kindle DX I bought due to my fear that Amazon will never produce a Paperwhite version of it. This light is nice in that it is small and compact. I have a Mighty Bright light, but it takes up more room in my briefcase due to its flexible stalk for the light. However, the Kandle is not quite bright enough for the Kindle DX. Its adequate, though, so I am sticking with it because it is compact.

> 3 dayI really cant add anymore to the positive reviews already left. I have 2 of these now, one I use on a MacBook (I dont have the Pro version with backlit keys), the other for my Kindle Keyboard. Lighting is sufficient, the only issues I have (and this is not a complaint, its just inherent in this type of lighting) is that at half-battery power the bottom of my Kindle screen could use a bit more light for my tastes. Ozeri emailed me and thanked me for the purchase and offered to send me 2 more batteries for the booklight. Ive had the lights for about a year now and occasionally the light does not automatically go off when the booklight is closed (the other minor issue). Overall happy with the light and its firm but padded grip.

> 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 was trying to use a regular book light for my Kindle 3, and it kept popping off. The price point on this Kandle is a bit high, but now that I have it, I think its worth it. It fits perfectly on my Kindle 3 and matches the graphite color really nicely. Other reviewers have mentioned the feel of this Kandle and I have to echo my approval -- its got a soft, matte finish -- and this makes it a lot better than if it were shiny plastic. BUT on to functionality: the lighting is great! I use it on the first level of brightness almost all the time, but for those who want/need more, it has a second higher level of brightness, also. Major plus for having its own case, screwdriver, and additional replacement battery. Very pleased! Update: OK, so the battery life kind of sucks. The good news is you can get a bunch of replacement batteries cheaply on eBay. The bad news is, Ive accidentally turned on the light a few times and have even drained all new batteries without even knowing it (or using it once!). Its too bad the Kandle doesnt come packed in a hard carrying case, because its too easy to trigger the switch and turn it on while its in your bag. [Its also hard to tell that youve turned it on because you cant really see the light on while the lid is down, so its not like its shining brightly in your bag if its on.] My friend got the SimpleLight for Kindle (

> 3 dayAs 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.
