I don’t know why this product has so many negative reviews, except maybe it doesn’t meet the needs of Kindle DX. I wouldn’t know about that. I started with a Kindle 1 and now I have the Kindle 2 (6 inch). For my first Kindle I used the Mighty Bright. It worked, but it clips on the cover, so it doesn’t store or travel easily. Further, I couldn’t find a way to clip it on the same side of the cover as the kindle or else it would block part of the screen or hang on quite wobbly to the sides. I had to fold my cover backwards so that the front was the back and then clip it onto that. After a while of being on the outside, the nice inside suede was aged and old and not so good, and the cover didn’t seem to want to close back the right way.
For my second Kindle I got an m-edge cover and light. I LOVE them! I got the cover that stands up on its own. That is super. For the first kindle I had the one that is more like a book cover. It’s ok, but once I start a book, I want to read until I’m done. Unfortunately, I also have to eat, so the cover that stands up is very nice. For the Kindle 2 living in its m-edge cover, I got the m-edge light. As acknowledged by everyone, it does fit perfectly in the side of the cover. The light poses no threat to the Kindle and for me it does a great job of lighting up the screen. If the conditions are dark enough to require lighting, then I don’t want something so bright that it’s blinding or causes me to need time to adjust my eyes to my surroundings. I don’t want field lights or blinding lights. Too much light will give me a headache. The m-edge light does a great job of lighting up the Kindle 2 screen without blinding me or causing pain to my eyes. The light swivels so you can lay it flat when not in use or swing it up to arc over the top and shine a nice, even light over the screen. I think it is just right. Amazon and m-edge probably should give me commissions for the number of people that I have recommended the Kindle and m-edge cover/light combo!

It fits very well with the cover it’s designed for; but not built as well, and does not give nearly as good a light as some of the competition. Looks and feels flimsy….

I bought this product at the same time as my kindle 2, and the m-edge cover. It all fits perfectly together but that is it. The light sputters on and off because the battery cover does not stay super tight. I had to tighten the battery cover about every 20 minutes with small pliars because you can’t finger tighten to it’s satisfaction. Even then as I am reading I have to put my thumb on the battery cover and try to keep it pushed snug. I am going to order something else today because I can’t fight with it anymore. I just wanted to warn everyone else beware.

The span of the light produced does not cover the Kindle DX screen. I have to constantly keep fiddling with it to: 1)make it light where I need it to, and 2)keep it from making a glare on the screen. If you are looking for something lightweight and small, then this is the light for you. If you want a light for everyday reading, I’d suggest looking elsewhere.

M-Edge e-Luminator2 Kindle DX Booklight (Fits 9.7″ Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX)
The M-Edge e-luminator2 light (Kindle DX model) is cleverly designed and its off-white color matches the Kindle. However, there are some drawbacks.
First, the Pros:
- Lightweight
- Complements Kindle’s color
- Compatible with some (not all) M-Edge jackets, which makes it easy to carry (It may also be used with Amazon’s own Kindle cover by slipping the light’s tab between the Kindle and back cover.)
- Uses only one AAA battery (which keeps the weight down)
Now, for the Cons:
- Its one LED does not adequately light the Kindle DX’s big display real estate, even at the marginally brightest setting.
- As mentioned by many others, there is little difference between the two light intensities.
- The sliding switch is a little awkward to use, especially if you don’t have small hands.
Note: While I’m not crazy about this light for my wife’s Kindle DX, I do use it on my 6-inch Kindle (Global Wireless) with good results, i.e., you are able to light the entire display on the smaller Kindle. For the smaller Kindle, I would rate this light 4 stars.
The M-Edge e-luminator2 does not hold a candle (pun intended) to the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light, which I also have. (The trade-offs with the Mighty Bright are: 1) It’s a little heavier with its three AAA batteries. 2) It isn’t integrated into any cover design (which can also be an advantage, using it on any cover and real books), and it has to be carried separately. But, it puts out a hell of a lot of light!
Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light (Kindle Version) Black [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging])
Finally, don’t repeat my mistake. When I ordered this light it was for my Kindle GW. I didn’t notice that I was ordering the Kindle DX model. If you have the smaller Kindle and an M-Edge compatible cover, order the shorter M-Edge e-luminator2. (If you want to use it with Amazon’s Kindle cover, I recommend the longer lenghth DX model e-luminator2.) M-Edge e-Luminator2 Kindle Booklight (Fits 6″ Display, Latest Generation Kindle)
