You could always just get one of those "bookreader" LED lamps that they sell for regular printed books. After all they are made for books! The iLiad is just not made of paper products but is in fact a "book". These lights are small, have their own internal (cheap & easily replaced) battery, will free up the USB port for other purposes, wouldn't drain the power out of the iLiad, and they are relatively inexpensive. In addition to all of that they are manufactured for reading books! I am sure that you could find an easy way to attach it to the iLiad with a little ingenuity. A small square of Velcro is a low tech way that might work effectively. Why re-invent the wheel?
