If you are reading where the light is not bright enough, you will either have to stop reading or use a light. a clip-on light is not going to be as good a light source as a front light. I've used Sony Readers with the light cover and yes, it works. But I've also used my H2O with a front light. The light is really not much different except that the front light gives you much more control over the intensity and you get a much more even light. So really, I don;t see the issue with having a front light.

If you don't want to use the front light, you can get a Kobo which has the ability to fully turn off the front light. A Kindle does not have such an option. A basic Kindle has really poor choices for lighting and all the other current Kindles have the front light that doesn't fully turn off.
