I decided to order a light for my Kindle2 (international version) when I made up my mind for sure that I wanted the Kindle2. Generally I read at night with the main light on in the room, but I felt it would be nice to have a smaller light more directed, especially for reading in the middle of the night, which I sometimes do.
I don’t know what I expected
Looking at the picture, I thought the light would be bulkier, and that is a reason I hesitated. I thought the bottom of it that fits into the case (see below for details) was larger and would go into the larger section of the case.
I can’t tell you how cute this light is!
I have no idea how well it works yet, because I am still awaiting my Kindle arrival. Boo hoo that it’s not here yet! It got good reviews, though, which is why I chose it.
It fits nicely inside the cover that I also bought from M-edge. See details below.
Here’s the cover that I bought:
I chose this one intentionally over the cover that opens like a book, even though it is more expensive, because I wanted the option of standing the Kindle up on a table or my lap, if I were laying down. (It works terrific for laying down.) I find it very easy to hold. Generally, I put my hand or finger into the V of it even when just holding it like a book, and it acts like a fulcrum.
There’s very little weight as far as holding it like that. It adds weight, as all cases would, if you are holding the book as a book. I figured maybe mostly I would hold it without the case, but I found the case actually took away weight, when it was just being balanced by my hand.
See the inside of the case
If you look at the case in the above link, then choose one of the extra pictures, you can see the inside pictured.
There is a section that looks like it would be for business cards, but this is the slot that the light apparatus fits into. Then the light swings down the left side of the Kindle case for storage. (It extends out a tiny tad.) To use it, just direct the moving arm. When my Kindle comes, I will post pictures.
There is a larger section that looks as if it should hold a tablet of paper, as some of the cases do, but I don’t know of a paper that is hinged on the cardboard backing that way. I need to go look at an office supply store.
There is also a place where I presume a pencil or pen would go, at the top of the where the Kindle sits. I found that clipping anything over this extended the pencil/pen out too far over the edge. It should have been spaced at a different place. I use a mechanical pencil in it that has no clip, so I can slide it in as far as it needs to go.
Do you have either this light or the case?
Did you buy a different case? there is one that holds a pad of paper, plus an extendable light build right in. I think I chose against that one because it didn’t allow the Kindle to stand upright on a table.
Update: My Kindle arrived, and I’ve used the light. It does what I need. It could have a longer arm, but then it wouldn’t fit in the case right, so it is designed as best it can be. I find it works better when the room is totally dark (because it then seems brighter.)
