It must be designed for a different m-edge cover than I have. There was no “pocket” to put the light in, and no matter how I tried, I couldn’t make the swivel work without pulling the light out from behind the Kindle so it had room to rotate. I had to take the light out to get the cover to close correctly, as well. Maybe this is designed for the m-edge that flips over the top of the Kindle, instead of flipping in book format, along the left edge? I don’t know, but while the light is bright enough, and is small, it simply doesn’t fit in my m-edge Kindle cover (and yes, before someone says it, I double checked–my cover is an m-dege brand, says so right on the back).

I don’t own this light yet – I’m ordering it now; however, I own the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light (Black, Kindle Version) and I am extremely happy with it. I’m so pleased with it that I am ordering this light as well. As the previous review mentioned, it is a light for a book – what do you expect? I read two hours every day and haven’t changed the battery in my light. I’ve had my Kindle since May. The two LED lights, which never need changing, allow you to control the brightness. The adjustable neck is very sturdy and no matter how many times you adjust it, it remains stiff. This is an awesome reading light and an excellent value. I honestly don’t see why anyone would complain about it needing a battery. If the battery is such a big deal buy a rechargeable battery set. They are pretty cheap.

I love that it slips right in, there is no bulk. The light itself is very bright and I like it better that the other kindle lights, BUT…it doesn’t work!! I can never get it to come on without shaking it or hitting it with my finger, I changed the battery thinking that was it, but I still have problems with it working!! It’s as though there is a short in it somewhere. Once it finally comes on, it is awesome!! I think it would be worth a try to send it back and try again though.

This makes this light hugely inappropriate for travel. Batteries are now very limited on flights and obtaining good batteries in Asian countries is difficult. How could you design a lighting system for travel reading with no adapter? Or did I miss something in the description?

I have been waiting and waiting for this light!!! I love my easel cover, and the only thing in the whole world that is wrong with my Kindle experience is the lack of a light. (still wish there was a backlight option or something). But without an adapter, I’m just not buying this. I HATE batteries! Twenty hours of reading is nothing. I’m going to hope this problem is solved soon, so I can purchase this light, which I want very badly.
