It's $25.00 currently (with free shipping on Amazon), comes with two extra disc type) batteries, and fits securely by clipping to the top of the Kindle. I love the way it looks and fits (firmly grips to top of book). The first photo (to the left) makes it look a bit larger than it actually is. It does work well for reading in bed or in poorly lighted places. You can even clip it to the side of the Kindle to more fully illuminate the entire screen.
It seems like it would be perfect for the Sony Reader or Nook as well, but if you own The Kindle, The Kandle is the perfect aesthetic match.

I want one!
ReplyDeletecool!
ReplyDeleteOoooohhh...didn't know about this. Adding it to my wish list on Amazon now ... hopefully hubby will notice it!
ReplyDeleteOh - great post!
ReplyDeleteI have tried to make other reading lights work with my Kindle, but they have simply fallen short. This looks great and I will add it to my wish list immediately!
interesting! I wished I liked ebook readers haha they scare me!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm going to have to have one of those I think. Thanks for pointing it out, Diane. I've needed a light on more than one occasion for my Kindle but didn't like the way the rest of them worked or looked.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI may get one of those because I read late into the night.
ReplyDeleteBut it doesn't seem to be the light that disturbs my wife; it's the clacking noise of the next page button. She woke up the other night and asked me why I was using the calculator at 2 in the morning.
Diane, I don't have a Kindle, or a Kandle, but I do have a little book light (it came with my Snuggie; yes, I did get one!).
ReplyDeleteNice profile photo! :)
I love mine! It works great! Someone left me a comment saying they use it for a nightlight on their nightstand too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Kandle. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI just got my Kindle for Christmas, and this looks like the accessory that I have been waiting for! I love it and now I really want one! Thanks for posting this, I am going to Amazon to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI want one for my Kindle too! I'm not sure if Amazon would ship it outside the US, though. I got my Kindle through the long-winded way...
