Never a glare problem, more portable, more durable, and useful for other stuff than reading. (both hands are free!)
Oh yeah, I forgot about that! I already carry one of these when I travel. I will try it with the Kindle.

I guess the one drawback would be when reading with a light in public (a poorly lit restaurant, for instance), I would look pretty dorky!

I have one like this:

It is very easy to pocket! Both light and small and the intensity is fully adjustable, batteries (3 AAA) are supposed to last over 90 hours.
