I'm looking for a light for my DX. Does anyone have any recommendations? Does the Kandle work well? Thanks

I think I'm turning into one of the people that's tried them all. The Kandle isn't great for the bottom of the screen, it may bother you or not. I gave mine to my husband, and switched to a Mighty Bright. It gives off a nice and even light, though a bit gangly. Nothing seems to be perfect so far, I'm waiting to see the Octo, but I suspect it will have the same problems as the Kandle.

Same here! The Kandle works great on my K2, but I don't like it for the DX that I use to use for work. Bottom of the screen is way too dark. Also hoping the new Octovo light might work for my DX. (Fingers crossed  ) Best Wishes!

Here you go, Techbotboy! http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-WideLip-designed-readers-Shipping/dp/B0031116K8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&tag=kindleboards-20&qid=1268347002&sr=8-1Comes in both white and black colors. You can also do a search on Kindleboards where we have talked about the Kandle. The Octovo light isn't out yet. Harvey, the head bartender, did a preview with some pictures of it here: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,20114.0.htmlOT: Are you on the North or South Island? In the mid 1980's, I spent a month touring the South Island. Just a rental car, handful of motel vouchers, and a fishing pole, LOL! Best Wishes!

I returned the Kandle as it just didn't light the bottom of the screen well on my DX. I just bought the Mighty Bright and am very happy with it. http://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Bright-XtraFlex2-Frustration-Free-Packaging/dp/B002CMLDT6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&tag=kindleboards-20&s=fiona-hardware&qid=1268353891&sr=1-1

I love how with the Mighty Bright, it can be positioned any which way. I usually have the light to the right of the screen about half way down, but am always looking at the screen while I position it.

I agree the Mighty Bright's flexibility cannot be beat. You can literally put the light anywhere you need it,thanks to the flexible head.
