Is this mini light good on hardback books?

yes as it is usually fitted on few pages of the book, I don't like it to scratch the book cover (in case of paperback books) so it is used on both paperback and hardcover books same way

Yes, because it's design allows you to clip to a thin amount of pages, or even better a sturdy hardcover.

It doesn't clip to the entire book --it's light-weight enough to clip to a group of pages--I find, in fact, that it does better on hard cover books because the cover supports the light better than a paperback cover.

It should work just fine - the clip attaches to the pages or the cover. I love my little light.

I used to use it with my old Kindle and it worked well. I just tested it on a hard cover and it seems to work OK. But I recommend getting a Kindle Paperwhite instead. You'll never look back! :)

It would probably work just fine on a hardback book as long as the cover isn't too thick. I use it for my Kindle, and it clips on to the hard cover of that just fine.

You might if it was fairly close to the book. I would suggest getting the bigger one... much better light!

It lights up both pages just fine. I adjust the angle of the light once when I clip it on, and then it's pretty much good to go.

I like reading in bright light, but this would probably be too bright. I haven't tried it though.I doubt the angle would work very well either.

Yes, it would work, but I wouldn't use it as my reading light most of the time, just for special occasions, like camping or something.

With four sixty-watt bulbs, it's pretty bright, though the lights aren't shining down; they are shining up. Therefore, it's not a "reading light," per se, but it's certainly bright. If you are looking for a reading light, you might want something that can be angled down toward your book.

The clip is fairly large to hook onto something thick. The bulb portion is fairly light. It might work on a thick book.

the small reading light takes the small little light, but it gives off allot of light

I didn't keep the book, but the light has assembly screws on the side and I would say yes. The price of a new battery may not be reasonable considering the price of a new light.

I think it probably could be used as a book light, if you have something on which to clip it. (Not the book, as you need to turn the pages!). I use it as a light for my grand piano. It really works well for that. I clip it to the piano rack.

that would depend on how good your eyes are..it only takes a 60 watt bulb....I need a 100 watt bulb at least for reading ....but it is lovely to look at and lights up a dark corner in my library...

I really don't know if this would make a good reading light. I bought it for a Bingo prize and my son-in-law was thrilled with it. He wore it at night loading or unloading his truck.

I would say yes, maybe not for very thin books, but for an average book I think it should work fine. Without battery it's really really light, so the best estimate for the weight of the lamp would be the weight of 3 AAA batteries in your hand. I have to admit that I always use it with the AC adaptor clipped on my bed headboard (so no battery).

I just took mine outside, It is a little difficult to read in bright light, as far as the ebooks, that are on a white background, it is much better. Hope that helps!

This lamp is beautiful. You don't need light to read a Kindle....at least I don't. I can't remember about the older ones but I think you should be OK. Just think of this lamp as more ambient light than reading light for books.

Yes, I use it as a reading light in bed before I go to sleep. You do have to keep the light close (about 30 centimeters) to the page.

Absolutely. We read more hardback than paperbacks. It works fine for both. I liked my husband's so much I got another for me.
