There are (pocket and keyring) lights with adjustable level these days. I have found that 1 lm (lumen) is perfect for a white paper page. Positioning or placing the light conveniently could be an issue, but carrying them around, well, carrying books around is an issue.

Edit: For example I have this one http://flashlight.nitecore.com/ILLUMINATION/T/TUBE/ and I can warmly recommend it. It has an extremely wide light cone, completely dispersed, so no sharp shadows, perfect for reading.
