1. Mighty Bright Xtra Flex 2 Clip On Light

The Kindle's E-Ink display is great for reading during the day but as soon as it gets dark, because it has the same contrast ration as paper, you're going to need some light on the subject.

Best of all it won't disturb your partner at bed time or those around you on the plane as it provides just the right amount of illumination to read by but not so much that it will bother anyone near you. Not only that but as it's an LED light, you never have to worry about it burning out either!
