Since I've gotten the Kandle, I have placed it directly on my K2. It is well padded and does not seem to do any damage to the Kindle. I just tried to attach it to the Oberon cover (behind the K2) and was unable....just not enough room between the straps.

This board keeps costing me more $$ :-)
I ordered the Kandle on Thursday from Ozeri and it was in the mailbox today. I'm going to see how it fits with the Oberon cover later tonight.

The Kandle doesn't illuminate the DX as well as the smaller devices. I have my DX in a JavoEdge flip case and clipped the light to the top first. The light went down the screen pretty well, but at a font size 3, the last 4-5 rows were hard to read. So I clipped it to the side (very pleased to find that the clip expanded enough to stay on the Kindle in the cover). The whole screen was lighted somewhat - it just wasn't very even. I'm going to play around with it some more, but I really use my DX mostly for technical stuff and I quite reading that once I leave the office.
This is a great light for the 6-inch Kindles. It even clips to the top of my Sony PRS505.
Of course, now I want a skin for it since I don't really like my electronics to be white...

Of course you should want a skin, Andra. You've been hanging around here. It was inevitable.

Now that I'm on Oberon watch too, I'll let you know how the Kandle works on an Oberon (as opposed to my Octo) when it arrives, if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Does anyone yet know the average battery life for the Kandle? I note that it takes two of the CR2032 which is bit of a negative for me - though I did find a lot of them being sold in packs of 10 on eBay.

I've read every post here -- twice -- and I still can't tell if the clip opens wide enough to grip both the Kindle and the cover behind it. I use my Noreve covers more than any of my others, and there is no way to clip to either the Kindle alone or the cover alone.

Mine should be here this week so I'll let you know if you can clip it onto both the K and the Noreve together. |

nelle, thanks for the tip on the batteries on eBay. I just bought 2 packs of 5 Sony batteries for$4.96 ($2.48 per pack)...it was cheaper that buying the 10-pack. Go figure!
Edited to add: Shipping was free. It seems that many (but not all) of the battery vendors on eBay offer free shipping.
Per the auction, the batteries are good till 2019.

Thanks, I think I saw that auction! If I can determine if the Kandle could connect to my K2 while it's in the Nancy Drew cover (easel style) then I may go for it.
Funny how new accessories (a new cover) motivate you to buy more accessories! I was content with my Oberon cover + Mighty Bright; now I have a new Nancy Drew cover which (1) doesn't accomodate the MB as well as the Oberon and (2) likely should have a case to protect it - am looking for a basic neoprene or fabric case that is modest in price.

Ha, ha! You ain't kidding, Nelle! I think it was just a couple of days ago when I said I couldn't justify buying a Kandle right now, because I just got an e-Luminator that I haven't even used yet. Well, I ordered one yesterday. Since then, I've decided I NEED a Prodigy cover to accommodate the e-Luminator. I've also put the Nancy Drew cover on my wishlist...something that I NEVER would've even considered if not for this board. The only thing holding me back from buying it now is that I'd rather have the book-style version. And, really, I'm not even that big of a Nancy Drew fan. I did read and love and own all her books (and the Hardy Boys once I'd read all the NDs) at one point in my life, but that was DECADES ago...haven't even thought about her in recent memory. So why do I feel like I HAVE to have this cover? Makes absolutely no sense! Aaaargh! I HAVE to stop reading this board!!!! Edited to add: Did you see my recent post about the Lightwedge bag? Someone here confirmed that her K2 in her Oberon cover fits in it. I ordered it a few days ago, so haven't gotten it yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/193283611X/ref=ox_ya_oh_product?tag=kindleboards-20 |

My Kandle just arrived-very fast shipping as I only ordered it last Friday. Anyway, I tried it w/both the Noreve & Oberon (corners) covers & I'm pleased to say that it opens wide enough to clip both the Kindle & the back of the cover, w/the front folded back. Mine did not come w/an extra set of batteries, but that's ok. Also the little brochure said it should run for about 25 hrs on a new set of batteries. I'm very glad I got this light, it's compact & lightweight; perfect for traveling. Hope this helps! |

I just spent the last hour thinking about the pros and cons of this light.
Well:
pros:
I don't have a light yet and although I don't need one every evening or anything there were times when I really felt the need for one
It is really small and portable
I really like the look
cons:
It costs money-the one from the monopoly boy isn`t accepted...
So, what do you think happened?
Yes, of course I went to the amazon site and wanted to buy it (anyone could have guessed that one)
but:
They don't sell to people outside of the US(at least not to Germany)...such a pity!!!
And that after I found out I couldn't get the Oberon cover I fell in love with...sad!
Not the best of all accessory days. Now I will go back to reading on my wonderful Kindle in the lovely Oberon cover I already have;)And I will still have to turn the light on when I want to read...
