Like others, I purchased this as it was the "recommended for Kindle" light. I'm happy to say that it's really enhanced my reading experience. I smoke outside and my balcony has poor lighting, so I keep this clipped above the sliding doors and use it when I take my Kindle outside with me. I read with the cover folded back, and this clips on with no problems, with the skinny part of the clip between the back of the Kindle and the cover.
The light is blue-tinged, as are most led-based "white" lights, but the color actually increases the contrast on the Kindle screen nicely (which is good, because the glowing white casing would otherwise drown it). It's very, very bright with both LEDs on, and still very bright in one-LED mode. The construction is fine, and the gooseneck is both very flexible and very stable once a position is found.
I've had very little problem with reflection off the Kindle. After a couple of times, I've found it quite easy to find a position that doesn't reflect off the screen or scroll bar. As hinted at above, the Kindle casing itself is another matter, but that's going to be a problem with any bright light.
My only wishes would be that it were a little smaller so it was more portable, and that the choice between one and two LEDs was on a secondary toggle switch instead of using a three-way on/off switch. I never want two LEDs on (it's just way too bright) so always have to double-click the on switch to turn it on.
Those are minor, though, and this book light works very well for me.
 The Best Little Book Light!! January 17, 2008

I bought this book light so that I wouldn't have to turn on the light at the side of my bed at night or if I'm sitting in the lounge chair and I don't want all the bright lights on while just reading. Also, I didn't really want to disturb anyone else in the house just because I was reading.
Well, let me tell you that I was AMAZED at how bright this little light is and you can actually turn it down a notch. There are two settings and even on the highest amount of light, you will not wake up anyone that is asleep or watching television next to you.
Plus, the light has a beautiful light blue tinge to it and it makes reading very easy on the eyes. It's hard not to love.
Now there are two options when it comes to powering the light. You can buy the adapter and plug it into the wall or you can use three AAA batteries. Which have seemed to last forever by the way. But neither options are included. You have to buy one or the other. (Or both...depending on what your needs are)
This light has a clip so you can either clip it to your book or you can have it free standing. It works perfect with the KINDLE, which is what I bought it for, but it also works wonderful for a plain old regular book that you might be reading as well.
This cute, little, bendable light comes in assorted colors so if you'd like something other than black please know that that is another option. I believe you could even find one in your favorite color. They have Blue, Pruple, Black, Pink, Silver, Lime, Aqua blue, yellow and a few other colors that I know I'm leaving out...like red. : ) So for the fashionistas like me, practical and fashionable all in one swoop!
Quite honestly I haven't found a better book light and the price is outstanding. So it's basically a win-win situation no matter which way you look at it. Hope that helps if your contemplating the purchase. I think it's well worth every penny!

Use It On Kindle January 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Purchased early January 2008.
Positives: Large clip - so can use it on Kindle, laptop, bed backboard, etc. 2 levels of light - so have some options. Neck stays in place and easy to manipulate.
Deltas: On my Kindle I must twist it at odd angles to keep it from shining on screen. When I get it to not shine on the screen - it doesn't quite light up the reading area evenly.
Overall: I'm pleased with it and it does support my reading in bed habit very well.
