Apparently the clip type book lights are designed to clip to the leather cover, NOT the Kindle itself. If you fold the cover backwards and secure it with the elastic band, then the booklight clips solidly to the back of the cover. The description for the Xtraflex 2 now describes it in the Amazon blurb.

I have no problem with that, as I do not think the Kindle is uncomfortable to hold in the cover, but others have felt it was not comfortable or secure.

A light designed to clip to the Kindle itself would be nice, and perhaps they will come up with one if strong sales continue.
