On a related (sort of) topic, I was in Staples in Toronto today and they had these lights for sale:

I picked one up thinking it was only $10 and at the cash they said it was on clearance for $5. Light is long which makes for a nice widespread even light. It is, however, not the smallest of booklights. On the plus side you can use it as a bookstand to get the perfect reading angle to avoid reflection from overhead lights even when the light isn't on...
