Does the light run off the battery of the kindle, I had one with my last Kindle and it killed my Kindle....

No. Light has its own batteries. Does not run off kindle battery. Hope this helps.

yes the light stays on if, plugged in, when you shut the car off the light goes off, so while you are driving the light is so small and uses so little power , the battery is not affected

Did you fully charge it overnight before attempting to charge your kindle? Odd that it doesn't charge your Kindle. Is it drained afterwards or is there still juice in the battery to charge another device after it stops? IIRC, the 3-4blue lights on top are the charge-capacity indicators

Yes, it does, it's the round kind like they put in wrist watches, and being an LED light, it should last for years before you need a new one. This is a great light, great price, perfect for a kindle that isn't backlit!

"Yes, worn-out batteries do cause the light to shut off. I had the same problem, where I had also disabled TryMe first. As the batteries wear out, the light will shut off faster and faster. Moving up to 8 fresh batteries will resolve this problem.

I don't think so, I am having the same problem with my light. I know it won't be long I will have to change the battery because of it. I just hope its not dead when I get ready to use it.

My experience has been that the light is on when it is working. I don't know if the light goes out when the battery is fully charged.

The battery will last for about two to three hours when reading a down loaded book (kindle) or about an hour and a half for a down loaded game. I believed it lasted a little longer when I first got it about 1 year ago. This is with the Wi-Fi off. You can use it with it plugged in to a 120 v circuit.

My light stays on as long as the unit is plugged in and the battery is attached. I just let it charge for 10 hours before removing. That seems to work. It would be nice if the light went off when it was done, but I donlt think mine does...

My red light eventually goes off. I have not had any issues. I typically charge the battery for a couple hours - less may work. Not sure.

Sorry to hear about that . I would return the case to Amazon. I have the same case and auto on/off feature works just fine. When I have my kindle in the easel or standard book position, it doesnt shut down. I think you have a misaligned magnet.

Yes it does. This item worked fine the first few time I used it. It was a few months before I tried using it again and it would not work. It came right on when I connected my kindle to it, but quickly seise to work seconds later. It also as this bright blue light to let you know it is on, very annoying. I just faced it away so it would not show. That sorta helped. I'm going to try and see if I can make it work again. Who knows? It may work again. I hoped this helps.

Hello from Mediabridge,The USB port on the computer provides .5A which is much lower than the 1.8A that the Kindle charger provides. So if your Kindle is powered on when plugged into the computer, then you will not notice a charge at all. If you power off the Kindle, the computer will charge it very slowly.

Absolutely and it works great. The light does not use the batteries from the Kindle. Have not had to replace the light batteries yet. I don't think they last forever, but who knows.

No, it does not automatically turn Kindle off and on. I love my Roo and have purchased another for a friend. Its soft and is easy to hold and protect my Kindle. Good luck.

I received the original kindle for Christmas and the battery died a few weeks later. Amazon sent me a replacement kindle and it held its charge for less than 24 hours before it died. Arg!

I don't know how the kindle's brightness works, but this lamp has 4 different lighting modes and 3 levels for each of them. The lowest light of all must be more bright than Kindle I guess. But it is very comfortable to sleep for example.
