I thought I'd try the paperback size...and was very disappointed. The quality of the plastic is way unacceptable....many tiny bubbles and imperfections that distract from the experience, the light doesn't illuminate the page evenly...many dark spots, it doesn't physically fit the Kindle...awkward to hold in place, and finally, it just doesn't provide enough light for my taste. So in the drawer it goes with other book lights I didn't care for.

I haven't found anything to beat the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light yet...but I'm hoping I will since that light is really to bulky for conveniently carrying around. Works great from my night stand, but doesn't go in the brief case to go with me for the day (my Kindle does go with me).

Perhaps the re-designed M-Edge Illuminator will be the magic combination of small, easy to carry around, and gives good light.

Just my experience, but perhaps it will help someone else.
