- the switch is balky - have to press and hold VERY hard to get it to toggle hi/lo/off.

This has been a bit annoying too.

- takes 3 AAA batteries. Batteries are usually purchased and charged in pairs or sets of 4. The mismatch is annoying, as I'm never sure that I'm cycling the batteries evenly. 2 would be lighter and easier to manage.

I agree.

- I'd like something that stows more efficiently for travel. As it is it will not fit in a jacket or carrying case pocket and has to be thrown in 'loose' somewhere.

I have to admit that this is a major problem. I was in a rush when I bought the light and didn't take the time to think it over properly. I do want something that I can just slip into the case.

it's a little obtrusive when clipped onto my reader's case and doesn't work well clipped to the top (glare and visually distracting). Again, it doesn't fold down and if I want to put the reader into a backpack or whatever, the light has to come off.

I did have a look at the Pocketflex light but it was really bulky on my e-reader and obscured the screen.
The travelflex looks okay but I guess I'd still want to know if it fit properly. My case should be coming in later this week so I can take it down to Borders and have a look at the other lights.
In terms of better lights for portability I can't see any more on the mighty bright site - unless someone has a different suggestion?
