> 24 hourI have a Nook Simple Touch with their Lautner cover and the Kandle by Ozeri II fits perfectly. I place the light on the Nook device or on the cover - either way there is ample light. I am 70 years old and require good light to read and this Kandle is great. It is small and you need to be somewhat dexterous to mount and use it properly. My husband with his big sausage fingers might find it a little difficult. So far I have only used the Kandle while reading in bed at night with all other lights out. It does not disturb my husband at all. I am looking forward to using it when we travel in our camper or when we are tent camping.

> 24 hourOverall I am happy with my Kandle II. As other reviewers have commented it is a little wobbly when you clip it on so you can still see the screen, and the light does fade a tiny bit near the bottom of the screen. However, neither of these things bother me much and I am enjoying being able to read at night without bothering my husband. Overall I am pleased with it and glad I purchased it! Updated to add: I was contacted by Ozeri and for my positive feedback, I was sent 4 extra sets of batteries for my Kandle II. I have since used all these batteries. I read about an hour at a time with the Kandle set on the low setting and am replacing batteries every 2 weeks or less. I wish I had known it was going to go thru batteries so quickly, makes it a bit more expensive now that I know that.

> 24 hourWhile most book lights for the Kindles have a clip and a swan-neck scoping out of it with a light attached, this is a more compact version that works equally well and illuminates the page but is more compact for travel. I have 3 versions of the Kindle and an ipad and it fits all 3. Better yet, there is no telescoping bendable neck that you have to mold into place each time you clip it on then reposition after you take it off and put it back on again because it would move if kept in a bag or suitcase or even during removal. This can stay clipped on and always be at hand when needed without getting in the way as my other lights have. It adjusts to the size of your e-reader, whatever it may be. And its apparently quite sturdy because UPS banged the heck out of this package and even put holes in it and it came out of the package unscathed. that is a good test for the airlines of how it will handle travel.

> 24 hourI bought this recently so I could stop bugging my husband with a lamp when I read after he goes to sleep. Its really great! It does clip on, which I didnt notice before I got it. Since the clip is so wide, I dont worry about it damaging my kindle like I did when I was using a regular book light. The light reaches all the way to the bottom of the page. The only thing I wish was different on it is that I wish it had a slightly dimmer setting. I think my eyes get sensitive at night, and it would be even less of a bother for sleeping partners that way. (I kind of assume a lot of people get them for that reason.)

> 24 hourIm really happy with my Kandle. I was pleasantly surprised with the size and the power of the light system. It lights up the screen of the Kindle perfectly and enables me to read anywhere with all the light that I need. Havent used it long enough to know how long the battery life is, but so far so good. The only complaints that I have are the price, I do feel that it is a bit overpriced, and Im also not sure how sturdy it is, it doesnt appear to be very sturdy, it could me made out of a tougher material especially for the price that it is. I was very happy with the delivery, I received it the day after I odered it. Iwas only expecting a 2 day delivery and got it sooner thatn that, was also well packaged.

> 24 hourNice book light. It puts out plenty of light for reading, I think both the semi-bright and full bright work well in poorly lit reading areas. The only complaint I have is that the reading light is a little loose on my Kindle. While adjusting the light if its not held firmly, the whole thing kind of moves around but once youve got everything the way you want it, it stays put.

> 24 hourHi, I took a time to review several Kindle lights and general reading lights to try to make the best decision. My expectation is a good light that is small and portable, that the light cover all the kindles screen and doesnt be annoying, that it doesnt bothers my wife while she sleeps and I read (I dont want a light that illuminates my complete room, and to be a good quality and that doesnt costs half the price of the kindle. Kandle II filled my expectations, here is what I can point out: - Light has two intensities, which is great, some people may prefer more light or in some environments you may require it, or just your eyes. - I can easily clip it without removing or damaging my leather cover, also, has something in the clip to protect the kindle from getting scratch (pretty important) - You can set the position and direction of the light, which will allow you to point the light as you like it. - It doesnt illuminates all the place, it helps that you can choose how to position the light. - Is small and brings its own little bag to carry on. - The style is nice and is pretty similar to the gray Kindle, which is nice. - Comes with extra two batteries and a small screwdriver to replace them, that is nice as they dont assume you have one. - And the price is I think, just perfect. Im really happy with those $25 bucks I invested, I would recommend it.

> 24 hourI love reading in bed before I go to sleep, however, I married a great guy who is disturbed by the lamp light being on. This little light doesnt disturb his sleep, and I can read to my hearts content. I like the fact that it turns off when closed and has two brightness settings. Although it is basically low profile it still has to be clipped to the outside cover or removed to store the reader when not in use. Not a big deal, it is still a great addition to my Kindle Reader.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourThis product lets me use my Kindle Touch in bed without waking up my wife by turning on a lamp. For that reason alone, I can give it five stars and say that its easily worth the $20 I spent. Functionality: It does cast a lot of light to the sides but the low setting is just enough light to adequately light the page. There is a bit of a fade toward the bottom of the page, but when the batteries are well-charged, the bottom of the page is still quite readable. Longevity: Battery life is pretty good; I had the Kandle II in fairly constant use for about two months before I had to replace the batteries, and as a bonus, they do include a second set with the product. It uses two CR2032 watch batteries, which are available as of this writing on Amazon for about a dollar each. If I could improve one thing about the Kandle, it would be to include a low battery light to indicate when to replace the batteries. As the batteries start to die, the light fades slowly and eventually gets too dim to use. Aesthetics: It looks like part of the Kindle. Im not super concerned personally with style, but at least with the Kindle Touch it fits right in with the product. Its also light enough that I generally just keep it on the Kindle 24/7, even if I dont need the light at the time. Overall: A great little product that gives you the ability to read in the dark without having to shell out for the Paperwhite. Recommended.
