I picked up a "Pathway lights: Multi-pose Brightbook" at Target. I notice it is not available at the Target site, but only at the stores in the book department. It has 4 leds, two light levels and was only $8.99. It clips on the case with ease, but would not be able to clip on the 300 itself. It works perfect. The low setting is all I need, and it is twice as bright as the high setting on the Sony one. I use rechargeable AAA batts in it....

Thank you so much. I read your post yesterday morning, but didn't remember the product name or the store. I mis-remembered it as in Barnes and Noble, and found it there by price ($9.95, I think). By dumb luck, it was the exact same model. It's great! And tiny when folded, about the size of the smallest flip cellphone.
I have the new cover for the 600 with light made for the PRS-600, and that is dim and ungainly to position compared to this clip light. And my other three booklights are very dim compared to this one *at its low setting*!
The clip is only like a paper clip, not spring loaded. Maybe not as durable, nor able to clip on thicker things, but slim for clipping on the back cover without pushing out the reader towards you. The head even swivels left and right, so it is adjustable in two perpendicular planes. This might perhaps be useful for paper book reading: just swivel for reading the opposite page.
Thanks again! Though I haven't tried all the other recommended booklights, I can't see how they could be better, at least for what I want in a booklight. And at that price, what a steal.
