I have to disagree. As the person you quoted stated, leeching life from the Kindle battery will require you to charge more often. I want to say that as an added plus, you don't have to carry the light everywhere around with you. I only use the light in bed, so I leave it in my room.
As for it being a hassle, if you don't want to go through this, you could probably just use normal batteries for less than a dollar a month (current Amazon price per AA battery is 42 cents each). However, it's hardly a hassle. A single AA battery lasts me at least two weeks before it starts to noticeably dim. When the battery wears out, I can just pop it in the charger, and put the spare battery in the light.
