There are numerous "external" lights available, ranging from "clip-on" booklights (which many people use) to "covers" with built-in lighting.

I use a mini lantern. Got a 6 pack of them during a wootoff for $15. The light is easier on my eyes than most booklights (the tiny lights hurt my eyes). Plus they are seriously killer for power outages.
This guy seems entitled to the "Perfect Device," and doesn't want to lower his standards. When he finds out there isn't one, he resorts to name calling. AWESOME!
