Alternative book light for Amazon Kindle


meets!?

While Kindle 3 has a significant price cut, the Kindle Lighted Leather Cover appears to cost an arm and a leg. There are many book lights designed for the Kindle family with the idea of attaching the device. However, a more decent light source and flexibility could be achieved if the attachment is not forced. Take the above tripod flashlight for example, it accepts three, six or nine batteries of size AA depending the needed continuous run time which ranges from 50 to 200 hours. Thanks to the tripod, a desirable position is no longer hard to find for the light source to lodge and the Kindle can keep lightweight gracefully. Nonetheless, the most amazing news is its dirty cheapness compared to the official lighted leather cover. What's more, there is no excuse leaving Kindle absent in outdoor activities like camping.
