If you need a light for your kindle I recommend you buy the Great Point reading light. This light is perfect! It stays in place when clipped on, the neck can be adjusted in any position and it provides full coverage. I thought it was a bonus that it came with batteries installed as well as replacement batteries.

Please don't waste your time and money with any other reading light. After purchasing 3 brands I was starting to get so frustrated I almost gave up! Either they slipped off my kindle or the light did not provide enough coverage. I spent so much time trying to make them work I was too tired/frustrated to read!

I never thought that I would be so happy about a book light, let alone write a recommendation for one! But what can I say....The Great Point reading light has further enhanced my kindle experience.

After years of using many different reading lights I finally found one that does everything you want. It lights up my Kindle DX perfect! The light is not too bright or too dim.

It grips great on the Kindle frame without touching the screen(I tried the Mighty Bright but the only way to secure it was to clip it on the screen. Yikes!)

It's beautifully designed and very sturdy. The head also locks in the clip when your not using it.

The bonus was it came with batteries included AND an extra set of batteries.

I love it. I think I might buy the black one too.

Enjoy.

I had my doubts after reading the negative reviews about other clip-on lights. But I have been so pleased with this accessory. It clips easily to the K-2, doesn't slip or slide, but stays where you put it. The clip does not interfere with the screen at all. Aesthetically it matches the kindle. The flexible neck stays put and is easy to move without having to hold the clip. Once you find the best position for you, it stays put - even when I remove it from the Kindle.

The light coverage is superb over about 90% of the screen. The bottom 10-15% kind of fades off, but it has presented no reading issue. There may be a tiny bit of glare at the very top, but nothing is perfect.

The only complaint I have is the on/off switch is a bit flimsy. But I can easily read for hours without eyestrain in a dimly lit room or in bed at night.

I got this with my Kindle 2 as I prefer low light in the evenings and am prone to headaches. I have noticed no eyestrain and when reading in complete darkness this light is more than enough. The neck stays in place and it's very easy to adjust when I change position. I'm able to limit the glare off the screen, as I have it clipped on to my cover, it just takes a minute to find the right angle. The 2 led lights don't get hot and so far as the battery life has been great and I appreciated the replacements that are included. This is the first reading light I've tried and over the past few days have been very impressed. I have recommended it to my friends that also have Kindle's and those that just like to read!

When I was shopping for a reading light to use with my new Kindle, I read all sorts of reports complaining about the different lights. This one had the most five star reviews (when compared to the single two star review), so I decided to try it. Why not? I could always return it if it didn't work out or wasn't what I was looking for. It's perfect. It has a great light and is very bright, showing the entire Kindle. It hooks securely to my Kindle without leaving any marks or even touching the screen (something I was anxious about after reading about some of the other lights that have ruined people's screens). This light is perfect. It may not be the most stylish light when compared to some of the other ones out there, but it is excellent quality! I would recommend this to ANYONE who is looking for a reading light for their Kindle. I'm so glad that I bought this one!

I read my Kindle 2 with the cover on so I clip the Great Point Light on it.
I bought it so I could read in the dark while my husband watches TV or just sleeps.
Also I travel a lot (10 long hours of flight) and this device proved to be excellent when the lights are off and everybody is asleep.
It's well made and my favorite feature is that it's not bulky nor heavy.
The disc battery is a great idea, much better than the heavy regular ones.
I buy them here at Amazon, they come in a pack of five and cost 3.97 with free shipping.
The design is simple and the light itself covers my entire kindle screen (you just have to play with the neck a little till you find a position that's comfortable for you).
Easy storage, travels well.
I really hope that my review will help you make a better purchase.

UPDATE Feb.14th, 2010
The Great Point Light proved to be of a wonderful help when working on the computer in the dark. It provides enough light for you to see your keyboard in the dark (I clip it on the top lid where the screen is on my 12 inch laptop. Also if you drive in the passager seat in the car during road travels at night this light is equally helpful.

i am picky...i like things to work, and work well. this light is all you need. i did buy both this one and the mighty light because i'm picky and wanted to use one that would work best with my newest kindle...the great point light is the best. it is perfect. no problems...awesome.

hope this helps you all decide.
happy new year 2010!

I bought this light for my 13 yr old daughter to use with her kindle. She loves it! It is a perfect size and so lightweight. Easy to store and travel with. Makes it so easy for her to read at night without having to have her lamp on. I would even use this for myself when reading at night.

This light is very bright, clips on the Kindle with no problem, and the gooseneck is easy to use. I agree with others that the clip is not perfect for the Kindle (it is a little bit too big and it is round) and a dimmer would be an improvement. Also, AAA batteries would be better. Nevertheless, I recommend this light.

I wasn't satisfied with the light cast by the popular Mighty Bright xTraFlex2 model, so I tried this. It's a keeper! Seems brighter than its competition, and easier to situate it withOUT it moving around later. Wish I had gotten this one first.
