Mighty Bright TravelFlex Book Light, BlackThe one thing that was a disappointment when I purchased my Amazon Kindle was the lack of a back light. Not sure why they didn't include this as a feature. It would be so useful for travelling, or when you wish to read in bed but your partner wants to sleep.
When I came to look for a case for my Kindle, the Amazon Kindle case with integral light looked promising but on reading the reviews, it didn't hold up too well. Quite a number of the reviewers recommended another case together with this Mighty Bright light. I bought both and I am really pleased. The cost of both was substantially less than the Kindle cover.
The Mighty Brite runs from one AAA battery which lasts for ages. It is really robust and provides a very bright light which covers a small area and can be easily directed so that it doesn't annoy other people. It has an integral clip which is ideal for clipping onto your Kindle case or indeed the cover of a book.
I was given the ideal opportunity for testing this out as, shortly after purchasing it we did a coach trip from the North West to the Christmas Markets in Belgium and Holland, over three days. Many hours travelling, much of it in the dark, and there is a limit to how long you can sleep on a coach. This was ideal as I was able to use my Kindle without disturbing the sleep of other passengers, including my travelling companion. It also came in handy as a torch for finding lost keys, identifying luggage etc.
I cannot recommend it highly enough.
