If you get a fairly slim booklight for an ereader, it'll use button cells- button cells which are fairly pricey and all look the same, so not as easy to obtain as good 'ol triple-As.
Get a booklight which takes the AAA batteries, and you're adding a fair bit of weight.

There's advantages and disadvantages to everything, but I like thinking of the long-term use and how much hassle I won't have to deal with later. The amount of time I've not spent looking for replacement button cells, the amount of money I haven't spent on replacement batteries of any kind, and the slim and fairly light form are all well worth it to me... but it might not be worth it to everyone.
