Does the light get power from the kindle or batteries?

It uses a button battery. Bottom of page not well illuminated with this light.

Yes, but there are times when it starts to flutter lline a strobe light. Quite distracting. Hope this helps.

Light does get its power. From the Kindle. I have never had a problem with the light. Love it!

I noticed this too and was worried about it taking up the battery charge but it my experience it doesn't. I didn't use my kindle for 2 weeks and when I came back the battery was still charged.

It is not battery powered. It plugs in the wall socket. One comment the light is not that bright. No sure if you can get a bright bulb for it.

No batteries needed. This is a handheld /supported by the cord that goes around your neck. It is a rather light weight clear plastic. Any light would come from a lamp or daylight. I can see that it looks like it might be lit in the photo.

The power source is a little circular 3V internal battery. It is included with the device. There is also a light receiver on the face of the device that I assume contributes to managing battery power.

Not really, it's for use to recharge your Kindle if you don't have access to a computer. I carry mine when I'm traveling or going to be away from my computer for a day or so.

The Book Light utilizes three (3) size AAA batteries. However, there is a small plug-in socket which can accept a line cord adopter to run the light off household current. The line cord adopter would be an optional extra (it does not come with the Book Light as standard equipment). All in all this Book Light is a very satisfactory product.

The Kindle book on tips for troubleshooting suggests making sure your outlet works and that your adapter is completely plugged in. also check adapter tip is plugged into correct jack on kindle. I would replace the battery anyway if it has not been used for a year.

Yea, it has a cord that plugs into a cigarette lighter socket. The light does not have a battery and won't work if you unplug it from the cig lighter socket. I prefer this product because it is light weight and easier to hold.

the red light turned off when it was fully charged for me. I used my wall charger for my kindle to charge it. I just check my phone charging percentage when charging it with the battery pack.

Battery powered. Not sure about the back lit part since I bought it as a gift

You can plug it into a wall socket using something like the power plug that comes with the Kindle. However, please note that other countries probably use different voltage electricity and although many hotels have varying outlets of varying powers, you may need an international plug.

I really don't know. I don't plug the unit in, unless I have a handful of batteries to recharge. Then the light goes on, and I figure the batteries are all recharged when the light goes off. (Trial and error?)

This is both battery powered and has an AC adapter. The lamp works well with either source of power.

it is plug in. Something else that might be helpful...although I like the look and it works well the dark shade keeps it from putting out much light. It is not a reading lamp, its a ambience light. Pat

Yes, it will recharge Kindles. Kindle is shipped with a USB ( 5 volt ) cable and I think a 110 volt plug-in transformer also. This device has 2 ports; one is for Apple devices and the other not Apple ( A and NA ). The 4.2 amp output is enough power to charge 2 devices at the same time. Another cool thing is that it fits my older and newer cars.
