I didn't find anything that was both satisfactory and cheap, so I decided to make my own instead (rough prototype). Here are some close-ups too.

Out of curiosity, does anyone else have or know of a similar light (that is, something minimal and thin, that should work with any (cheap) case, and that also uses the Kindle's external power contacts, rather than its own battery)? Is there anyone besides me that wants such a thing?
While I applaud your ingenuity, it looks rather flimsy. I think I'd rather get a clip on or a lighted case.

Same for me, but different strokes for different folks.

Of course the first thing I will do is jailbreak, add custom sleep screen pictures, and the margins patch. And my favorite font.
Enjoy your new Kindle.
