Product Description
The perfect accessory for night reading, the Kandle by Ozeri is designed for books, magazines and traditional eReaders such as the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader and other eBook Readers. Recently updated, the Kandle by Ozeri features improved lighting and the award winning design that firmly attaches to printed books and eReaders without blocking the page or screen. It also boasts double pivoting arms that allow for easy positioning and adjustment to tailor the screen illumination. The Main Pivoting Arm rotates 90 degrees from its closed position, and the Upper Pivoting Arm rotates another 70 degrees for complete customization. Unlike other eBook lights, the Kandle by Ozeri is powered by two lifetime LEDs that are optimized to distribute light evenly without creating glare or eyestrain. Petite and light, the Kandle by Ozeri is ultra-portable and folds into a closed position where the LEDs are fully protected from scratches or breakage. Ships with 2 CR2032 batteries installed, a bonus set of extra batteries, and a protective pouch included.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2011Color: BlackVerified PurchaseAfter reading somewhat mixed reviews i still decided to give the Kandle a try for my Kindle keyboard 3. The product itself is very good and serves my needs perfectly. I had previously bought a belkin clip on light but i didn't like that for me to not get glare i would have to position it at an angle which would then getin the way. I didn't have this problem with the kandle.
pros:
- lightweight
- small and very portable
- 2 lightbulbs (which gives a nice wide spread of light)
- can put it on thee top or even on the side of the kindle
- bright light (but not so bright that it seems unnatural)
- the clip has a soft foam material (so i don't have to worry about it scratching my kindle)
- Good grip keeps it in place
- can use it over a cover (mine has a silicone cover and it works perfectly)
- adjustable light angle
cons: like some users have stated before, the light does seem to not be completely uniform throughout the screen, but to me it's not a big deal since the difference is minimal and it doesn't really bother me. I have read in complete darkness and i can read perfectly without straining my eyes
Extra: the one thing that stood out for me the most was not just the product itself. My Kandle came with extra batteries (it already has some in so you can use it right away) and a tiny screwdriver for the tiny screw in the battery compartment when you have to change them. it also came with a small carrying pouch so you can take it anywhere while keeping it protected. These may seem like little things but to me it shows that they wanted to try hard to please their customers which is a big bonus in my book. I have tried other more expensive lights and have not been as satisfied as i am with this product.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2012Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI originally got a Kandle last fall for my Kindle 3 (Keyboard), as I wanted to be able to read without using the heavy lighted case all the time. It fit perfectly and worked wonderfully, providing light across the entire screen without being to heavy or awkward to hold.
I also have:
1) a Lightwedge (paperback size), provides full-screen illumination and is WONDERFUL for reading in bed without disturbing my husband
2) the SimpleLight, which uses the K3's hinges for power, is lightweight with a flexible neck, and works GREAT, I started using it on my K3 all the time instead of the Kandle
3) the Mighty Bright - don't like it, it's heavy with a large clip/base, and there's not really a place to attach it when not using a case, as it covers part of the screen
When I got my Mom a Kindle Keyboard (K3) for Christmas, I ended up giving the Kandle to her, since it was the most user-friendly and I had the other lighting options available.
However, I also got myself a gift of the Kindle 4 (non-touch), and found myself missing the Kandle constantly. The K3 lighted case and the SimpleLight don't work with it (no hinges), the Lightwedge was too big, and the Mighty Bright was too heavy and totally off-balanced the little reader.
I just got my two Kandles on Friday, and I couldn't be happier. My husband has been using his non-stop on his Kindle 1, and the Kandle is light enough and well-balanced enough to work perfectly on my Kindle 4, too. The clip even has enough flex to go over the (thin) leather cover, when folded behind the K4, if I don't feel like taking it out of the case.
The lights are easy to angle and adjust, and with more of a "light bar" rather than a "spotlight" I get even illumination and no spots. The clip opens fairly wide, and I've used it on 3 different Kindles with and without covers & skins, with no issues.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2013Color: BlackVerified PurchaseIt clips and stays on good but it's not bright enough. The light is good directly beneath it but doesn't reach the bottom of the Kindle page. I even turned the Kindle sideways and changed the text to display sideways and I still don't like it. Also, the light reflects off the face of the Kindle and glares so I can't see the words. I think it would be better to have a light that's up higher (i.e. higher neck)to cut down on glare. I can't lay it flat on a surface and read it. I have to try propping it up or leaning it against something so I can multi-task. I'm constantly trying to prop up the Kindle so I can listen to text-to-speech while doing other things (dishes, sewing, etc.). I wish the Kindle could stay upright and tilted but that's a Kindle complaint, not a Kandle complaint and I've gone on way too long here but I'm stuck at home and haven't had an adult conversation since the Dinosaurs roamed the earth. Thank God for the Kindle talking to me! Unless I got a dud Kandle, I wouldn't recommend this. I'm here shopping for a new book light.

Color: BlackVerified PurchaseLa lampada è utilissima per la lettura senza disturbare che dorme.
Avrei preferito una potenza un po' maggiore.
E' molto maneggevole e compatta

Color: BlackVerified PurchaseAlors que dire sur cet article? En un mot magnifique. J ai acheté plusieurs articles de ce style pour ma kindle et rien ne peut égaler cette petite lampe. Éclairage parfait s adapte bien. La lampe couvre la totalité de mon écran. Je le recommande vivement et compte même en acheter une seconde car elle est également parfaite pour d autre objet comme par exemple une plaque à pince. Le poids est léger et semble de bonne qualité. Une seconde pile est fournie avec ainsi que petit tournevis. Franchement article a acheté sans réfléchir. Merci au constructeur.

Peter GodeReviewed in Germany on October 9, 20105.0 out of 5 stars Rundum gut, mit langer Betriebszeit!
Color: BlackVerified PurchaseHabe das Kandle Light für einen Kindle 3 eBook-Reader gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden damit.
Durch die zwei Gelenke ist lässt sich das Licht flexibel ausrichten. Das Gerät ist klein und leicht, macht jedoch einen hinreichend stabilen Eindruck. Eine bebilderte deutschsprachige Anleitung gehört ebenso zum Lieferumfang wie eine kleine Aufbewahrungstasche, ein kleiner Kreuzschlitzschraubenzieher für das Batteriefach sowie zwei Ersatzbatterien. Die Anleitung verspricht 2 Jahre Garantie, was über die gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Gewährleistung hinaus geht.
Vor dem Kauf habe ich vergeblich versucht, etwas über die Betriebsdauer mit einem Satz Batterien herauszufinden. In der Anleitung werden hierfür 25 Stunden genannt. Ausprobieren konnte ich dies noch nicht, aber wenn dieser Wert auch nur annähernd stimmt, finde ich das mehr aus ausreichend, zumal es die Ersatzbatterien für wenige Cent nachzukaufen gibt.
Das Kandle Leselicht ist übrigens auch hervorragend als Tastaturbeleuchtung für Netbooks geeignet, wenn man es an den oberen Bildschirmrand klemmt. :-)

JanelleReviewed in Canada on September 2, 20175.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, easy and very well made!
Color: BlackVerified PurchaseThis is a fantastic product! As easy to use on a paperback as my Kindle!
It clips on the cover or edge and folds open. Fully adjustable.
As an added bonus, and excellent customer service, it comes in a small velvet bag to protect it along with a tiny screwdriver and spare button batteries for future needs!
This is the only book light I'll ever buy in future!
