Kindle Kandle on Sale

Kandle LED Book Light is currently on sale at Amazon for $25.00, with free Super Saver Shipping and handling. This booklight has been getting a lot of positive comments on the Kindle forums at Amazon and elsewhere (although not everyone loves it, so check the reviews). Looks like it is lighter weight and lights up a more even portion of the screen, but it is less adjustable than the Mighty Bright Light that I've been using (but the Mighty Bright can sometimes be difficult to convince to stay bent into the shape desired). The design matches the Kindle well (with a name that implies they have Amazon's blessing to be associated with the Kindle), but should also work on other ebook readers (and advertises itself as compatible with the Sony and "other" readers; I'd bet it works well with the nook, also). I do need another reading light (the non-LED ones I have are always using too many batteries or blowing bulbs; the two watch size batteries are estimated to last 25 hours and the LED's should last a lifetime), so I'll be ordering one myself.

Book Description
  • New patent-pending WideLipTM grip that does not block the screen on the KindleTM, Sony® Reader and other eBook readers.
  • Double pivoting arms allows for easy positioning and adjustment for tailored screen illumination.
  • WideLipv grip also works perfectly on books without blocking text on the page.
  • Powered by two lifetime x2 LEDs optimized to distribute uniform light without creating glare or eyestrain.
  • Works perfectly as a stable, free-standing night light.
The Kandle features a new patent pending design that attaches to eBooks and printed books without blocking the screen or page. The perfect accessory for any eBook, the Kandle is designed for the Amazon KindleTM 1, 2, and DX, Sony® Reader Digital Books, and other eBook Readers. The Kandle boasts double pivoting arms that allow for easy positioning and adjustment to tailor the screen illumination and for avoiding any screen hot spots. The Main Pivoting Arm rotates 90 degrees from its closed position, and the Upper Pivoting Arm rotates another 90 degrees for complete customization. Unlike other eBook lights, the Kandle is powered by two lifetime x2 LEDs that are optimized to distribute light evenly without creating glare or eyestrain. Petite and light, the Kandle is ultra portable and folds into a closed position where the LEDs are fully protected from scratches or breakage. Ships with 2 CR2032 batteries included.
