This product does exactly what it needs to do.  It's a bit bulky on the base/clip, but even the smallest paperback will hold this up using multiple pages (including the back or front cover of the book).  The two light levels are great, but I'm finding that a single LED is sufficient.  It's entirely plastic and seems a bit cheap, but I can't see a more sophisticated product without adding additional weight just for cosmetics.  Good product for the money spent.
