I have the lamp mainly to a DMX lighting console in use.
So not in conjunction with a Kindle because I have a Kindle Paper White.
To read normal printed books I have it already and uses to which works fine.
With a slight eBook Reader, the weight of the lamp is of course more significant.
Many of the LED Clamp Lamps working with 4.5V voltage and as it is close to 3 AAA batteries to use.
The result then just a pretty big case and have their weight.
The LED lamps with 3 AAA batteries (at least for the three that I had so far) are usually built very similar and coming to a similar weight.
Weight and space saving would logically smaller and lighter button cells.
They would then quickly empty and are not going to get on every corner.
