I wanted something brighter. I got the Verilux and of course have to mount it on the cover, plugging it into my Mac's USB as the batteries increase the weight. What a hassle.
The jetBook doesn't need a ancillary reading light. A lamp that will normally illuminate a book will certainly be sufficient for the jetBook. Reflective screen it is, and not in a bad way. Both the Kindle and the jetBook require one to angle them away from direct light, or the bright spot will be reflected in them. But with the jetBook, after doing that the entire screen has a phosphorous glow about it (don't hold me to that technically, it just came to mind). Combined with the no flash, instantaneous page turns, and the perfect paperback size (for me), there is no comparison imho.

I have a 505 which uses the same screen as the K1 & K2. I don't need to use the lightwedge or a booklight with the 505 when there is enough light to read a standard paperback. If you really do need a booklight for your Kindle, you might have a defective Kindle. I would suggest taking your Kindle to a SonyStyle or Borders or Target and comparing it against a 505.
