I've got a little booklight that I bought from CompUSA years ago. In fact it was such a good deal that I bought about a dozen of them. I think they were $3.50. They're tiny cold cathode fluorescent tubes about 3 inches long (about 1/8" in diameter) and they run approximately forever on one AA cell. Actually I don't know how long but more than 10 hours for sure, I wouldn't be surprised by 20 or 30 hours or even more. I feed them half-dead batteries out of the junk drawer and they run for hours.
My Sony came with a cover and this thing clips on it quite nicely and is useful as a "find the porta-potty at the campground" light too.
EDIT: I use mine during power failures and when reading while riding in cars at night.
