I have a CyBook, and also a need for a light that won't disturb my wife.

I tried a paperback-size light wedge, but it didn't really work well, and the light also leaks from the edges, which isn't good.

What I did find excellent, rather to my surprise, was the Mighty Bright XtraFlex 2 LED clip-in light

You wouldn't really expect a LED light to be useful for reading, but the "LumaLenz" actuall does work perfectly to spread the light evenly in a limited area, with very little spill outside that area.

And it's cheap enough it's worth getting to test to see if it will do for your needs.
