> 3 dayThis is a great light. Its small, bright, sleek and fits right onto my Kindle Touch. I leave it there all the time, so Im never hunting around for it. It seems pricey, but I think the design is definitely worth it. After about 45 days I started to have problems with it NOT turning off; batteries dying...no good! Amazon was only offering a partial refund and ME paying return shipping. No thank you, not for a $25 book light! I contacted Ozeri directly. Theres where the value comes in: I explained my problem and disappointment. I got a reply in less than 24 hours, sent them my order# from Amazon and within 24 hours after that I had a new light in my mailbox. That is service and that makes for loyal customers! Love my light and Love Ozeri...

> 3 dayI tend to toss things into my purse so a book light with a long neck was definitely out of the question. The kandle II folds into a sturdy little block and they also include a pouch to store it in. If I am going to travel with a book light, I feel this would stand up to the jostling in my purse pretty well. So far so good! I have the latest version of the plain kindle and the amazon-produced leather kindle cover without the light. The kandle II clips on to the kindle just fine whether it is in or out of the cover. The only improvement I would want is for the clip to be adjusted so that it doesnt slide down further down onto the kindle screen. However, it is a small complaint. As long as you are careful not to knock it around, the kandle should stay in place just fine and for the low price, I am willing to put up with this very minor inconvenience. I love that there are two brightness settings and I find the low setting to be fine most of the time. Another great feature is the fact that it will turn off automatically if you fold the light closed which is fantastic. Its the small details like this which really sold me on this booklight. I definitely feel the quality is worth the price and I would advise anyone to get one.

> 3 dayThis is the perfect reading light for your traditional book or e-reader! With 3 LED lights situated horizontally across the frame, and 2 brightness levels, you have all the light you need to read in comfort wherever you are. Lights illuminate the whole page, with only slightly less brightness at the very bottom of the page. The patent pending grip does not block the screen on any eBook reader. Works well on regular books as well--no blocking text, and plenty of light so no eyestrain. I easily positioned this light on my Kindle, which has a cover, and I can still close and secure the cover even with the light attached. Very convenient! Comes with 2 CR2O32 batteries installed (plus an extra set of batteries). Also comes with a protective pouch for traveling. Very lightweight and compact. The best portable reading light Ive tried! Ill keep this light for decades!

Greater than one weekReceived the Kandle II today, and Im really impressed! My Kindle Touch was a gift for Christmas last year, and Ive been searching for a light ever since (I have a drawerful of various designs to prove it!). I havent been happy with any of them, and was seriously considering upgrading to the Paper White. Came across this little gem quite by accident and was immediately interested. It was small, no flimsy arm to get in the way or adjust, just clean lines and, I hoped, a good light without glare that would reach to the bottom of the screen. Then I started reading the reviews. I always read beginning with the newest, and Im glad I did. Apparently, when this light was first offered (I read reviews back to 2011), it had several problems, and there were many complaints. However, the reviews from early 2012 were all very favorable. Apparently this company was actually reading these negative reviews and acted on them to improve their product. The light gives a good even light all the way to the bottom of the screen, there is no glare whatsoever, and it clips nicely to the Kindle (with a Kindle cover). I cant speak to battery life, Ive only had it one day; however, this light is so amazing Im not really conerned about it, Ill just make sure I always have batteries on hand. Bottom line, Ill be keeping my Touch for a good long time because of this light. I highly recommend it to all Kindle owners.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI enjoy having the light for the Kindle. Im spoiled with my other reader which has a back-light. This Kindle was a win from a website so I didnt get a chance to pick the one I wanted. However, the only complaints I have are these: (1) It is a bit hard to keep settled on my Kindle, and (2) the batteries burn out very quickly. I read more than most people--sometimes all night long. That means my batteries run out much to quickly. It seems the batteries fade quickly. I handled this by ordering a bunch of batteries (25) but it takes 2 to power the light. Otherwise, its so great to be able to read in the dark!

> 3 dayWe love the Kandle by Ozeri II. I saw one being used for a Kindle on a plane in November and ordered one as a gift for my husbnad who was reading in bed holding a flashlight. He loves it and uses it all the time. Its light, very compact, and the batteries last a long time. Weve had other compact lights for night time reading but theyre heavier, inflexible and larger, and the batteries die quickly. So I just ordered one for my Kindle because were planning a big trip and I want to be able to read on the plane and in bed. Often hotel rooms have poor bedside lighting. Then I ordered an extra one for a gift for a family member. Anyone who uses a Kindle or an iPad, or anyone who reads in bed, should have one of these little lights. They are great!! Thank you Ozeri!

> 3 dayI just received my Kandle II in the mail. I used it the first night and was satisfied. I was kind of mislead that there were three settings when off counts as a setting. I did not notice a huge difference between the two light modes. However,I was surprised at how small and compact the Kandle II is and how nicely it.fits on top of the Kindle. It does not really get in the way of reading. I only wish that the Kandle II would fit better when the M-Edge Executive cover is closed. Over all it does do the job though.

> 3 dayThis is my second candle book light, and I absolutely love them BUT while they’re some minor improvements there’s a problem with the battery compartment and cover !! Obviously since this is the second one I have the correct ones, and know the procedure. But the two batteries have a little bit of spring loaded action going on and it is nijgh on to impossible to close the cover. A lot disappointing because the oid unit has a switch or something and either flickers if it comes on. But it is old and I give it 5 stars….nothing lasts forever. But duct tape on my brand new unit. Sure, I could return it but it’s a design flaw.

> 3 dayI am an old-old guy who reads constantly in a variety of situations throughout the day and evening: in snack bars, waiting rooms, fast-food joints, coffee shops, book stores, library lounges, and other such venues, where lighting varies and cannot be counted on to be bright enough for easy reading. Moreover, at one time or another I use all of the major-brand e-readers. As a result, I need a primary or auxiliary light that is small enough to be carried conveniently in a shirt pocket; that fastens securely to all my readers in either portrait or landscape position; that is stable once attached; that spreads light fairly evenly over a six inch page; that is bright; that is powered by small, easily available batteries; that is priced competitively; that is backed by a reputable company dedicated to customer service. After trying many brands of clip-on lights, in several styles, I found that on balance, the Ozeri II reading light meets my specific needs, not only best, but well enough to warrant five stars.
