For the trekkies under us:

The "Borg" earlight

Find it here

It uses two CR2016 button cells and lasts 18 hours. Price $12,00

****************************************

Here is another one:

Find it here

This one uses one AAA battery so that's a big advantage over the Ear Light that uses two button cells. It lasts 25 hours. Price $24,95.

You can find the "same" light under a different name at Curcuit City but instead of $24,95 they charge you $2,99. It looks the same but it could be that it's a cheaper imitation.

*************************************

This one looks good also:

Find it here

It also has button cells but this one uses CR2032 and I can get them for free on my work. It lasts 36 hours. Price $12,95.

It's clear you can get a lot of these ear lights on the internet and I think it could be better instead of trying to clip something to your Reader. I will go for this type of light. I only need to decide which one. I'm also planning into modifying it so it is possible to dim the light.
