Hey, suzyq! Welcome to MobileRead from a fellow (ex-pat) Texan.
My wife almost took a job at ACU a few years ago, but she's ended us up in Tennessee, which is working out quite well for us so far.
The Verilux would pretty much have to clip to the Kindle's cover, its clip is pretty narrow. However, I heartily agree about those Full-Spectrum CCFL lights for e-ink, they're simply the best game in town, in my opinion.
The Verilux is fairly heavy because of its battery load, AA's just aren't all that light.
I have the Mighty-Bright full spectrum CCFL light which I like. It's at least as heavy as the Verilux, using 4 AA batteries, but I found that if I clip it to the lower right edge of the cover so that it lies along the bottom edge of my Sony Reader the weight helps hold it up-right when I'm reading. The Mighty-Bright puts its CCFL bulb on a swiveling arm, so it's easy to position the light well from that unlikely location.
I don't know how much of that would transfer to the Kindle, but nearly as I can tell from the pix, it looks like it'd be pretty close.
