I use the M-Edge light that fits in my M-Edge cover for my Nook. The battery life is amazing, I use it every day (for over a month now) and haven't replaced the battery yet. Brian bought both of them for me for Christmas at Best Buy.

I use my Kandle for my Kindle and my Sony.  I think I paid around $20 on Amazon back in February but saw where they were on sale much cheaper recently.

I have the Mighty Bright Xtraflex 2 LED. I've had it for over 2 years and it's holding up well, looks new. Puts out a nice clear light. Very light, doesn't weigh the ereader down. Batteries last me about 2 weeks - please keep in mind that I often read all night, most nights in fact. http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Home-gift/Mighty-Bright-Black-Xtraflex-2-LED-Booklight/e/9781933622453/?cds2Pid=18741  It was $10 when I bought it, but I see it's $15 now.

I have one of these HugLight and love it.  It uses two AAA batteries.  I really only use it when I visit my parents so I don't know yet how long the batteries last.

I also have this one Rayovac that I have been very happy with.  Have had it for a couple of years and it still works great.  However, they can be hard to find. Wal Mart carried them for a while but I haven't seen them recently.  Rayovac may have discontinued them. 

I have better luck with this type of light vs the ones that attace to the book or ereader.  Plus, I am kind of a flashlight junkie.  :)
