> 3 dayVery lightweight and feels nice, almost velvety in texture. It stays put and doesnt slide around at all. The light is almost too bright at first. I bought so I could read at night without disturbing my husband and 2 year old who sometimes sleeps in our bed, but its so bright it almost lights up the bedroom as much as my bedside lamp. I find myself trying to angle my Kindle so that the light isnt shining in anyones eyes. But it slowly fades, so that after an hour or so of reading, I have to turn it up to the high setting to keep the bottom of my screen lit. It also eats batteries and Im a heavy reader, so its not practical to use every night. Ive gone back to using my bedside lamp most of the time. I still like it for camping, power outages, reading away from home, etc. But its the best ereader light Ive found.

Greater than one weekJust got this nice little light, and it has solved my problem of waking my spouse at night. Improvement I note: the unit turns off when folding the light closed, so no longer possible to run the batteries down by closing with the light on, or pressing the on/off button when closed. Also, with the light mounted at the top, the light level is a bit dim by the time it gets to the bottom of the screen, but unlike one other review I read, it can be mounted on the side if youre careful; this results in a more even illumination across the screen on my Kindle Touch, and does not shine the light or its reflections into my wifes eyes. She loves it, and so do I. Great little product, worth the money. Five stars!

> 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.

13-06-2025I looked around and tried several lights for my new ST Nook before finding the Kandle II. This was the best one I have tried for it. It compliments the small and light weight scale of the Nook and stays on great. The illumination does fade out a little towards the bottom of the screen but not enough to give it much points off. I rated all the attributes as 5 except for the brightness, which I gave a 4. As much as I like the Mighty Bright Ultraflex 2 light I have, and used with the Nook 3G, it is too awkward to use with the ST Nook. This Kandle II fits the bill. I recommend it!

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThis product is way too bright for nighttime reading. I applaud the attempt to have two different brightness settings. However, as is, the low setting is too bright and destroys your night vision. Ive tempered the brightness with a piece of scotch tape over the glass that has been darkened with black magic marker. Additionally, the clip isnt very stable. The clip isnt deep enough to find sufficient purchase on the back of my Kindle. It only grabs a few millimeters of the flat back. The slightest shake will loosen the Kandle from my Kindle. Realistically, the clip needs to be an inch longer or be curved similar to the back curve of the Kindles edge. It needs more surface area or friction in contact between devices. With these issues, though, Im still somewhat pleased with the purchase. Ill continue modifying it to achieve the desired nighttime lumens. Ill next try wiring in three microswitches to disconnect each of the 3 LEDs one at a time.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayIm really impressed with the way this little book light illuminates the screen of the Kindle. The three white LEDs distribute the light very evenly, and, while its a tiny bit brighter near the light source, there is no glare off the Kindles screen whatsoever, which is perfect for nocturnal reading. This light has two power settings, although there isnt much difference in brightness between the two. The lowest setting is more than adequate for situations in which a book light is needed. The light is compact and lightweight, and doesnt really affect the readability of the Kindle. Holding the Kindle with the light attached is still well balanced. My only issue, if it can be called that, is that the back clip could be a half inch or so longer to accommodate the beveled edges of the back of the Kindle. As it is, the light doesnt feel as though its clipped on as securely as it could be. Thats just a nit, however. The best workaround for this issue is to not toss your Kindle around. Otherwise, this light is an absolute joy to use. If youre on the fence about which book light to buy, you should definitely consider this one.

Greater than one weekI just got this to replace another Kindle light that wouldnt hold a charge. Its just about perfect when it comes to brightness, even lighting and weight. The only problem I have with it is that it moves on the Kindle. The clip is designed so that it cant be pushed fully down tight to the clip, or it covers the top of your Kindle. This means that it can move fairly easily. Ive got it stable enough that Im comfortable moving it, but it does interrupt occasionally for readjustment.
