I bought this for my mother as a Christmas present. It appeared to be more compact than some of the other lights on display and I liked that it was designed for the Kindle.
It came in the usual packaging and the Kandle itself was neatly packed away in a little box. Inside is a small velvety drawstring case, some batteries and a little screwdriver to help open the case, so you don't have to go searching for the right size head.
In terms of use, I wasn't sure how it would fit to the Kindle. My mother has the Kindle keyboard and I wasn't clear on whether this was supposed to clip onto the Kindle itself or the case. It works well in either case. When you lift up the light, there is a recess that will slide between the case and the Kindle, with the clip on the outside of the case. This means you can't close the light, but it does the job and it seems sturdy enough to withstand any knocks it might take when in that position.
When attached only to the Kindle - if one were to slide it all the way into the clip, some of the Kandle would obstruct the top of the screen - however, the tight clip means that even if you don't slide it all the way in, it holds firm.
In terms of light, I was very impressed with the brightness. There is a slight difference between the illumination at the top and that at the bottom, but nothing major that would cause me to return the product.
I can't yet comment on the battery life, but as it comes with another set - for the 14.99 I paid, I can't complain.
A cheaper alternative to the kindle cover light that works and is reasonably attractive. Thanks Ozeri!
