Thank again, Harry - after reading, Kobo probably not the one I want.
Anyone know if I can install Mantano reader on the Kindle PW or any eink reader? I've tried Mantano's site and also Amazon, but still can find out. |

You should be able to jailbreak the nook and install an android reading app on it. Check in the nook forum to be sure.

*Actually, during most of the camping season here we don't need artificial light because night is only a couple of hours long at worst, with twilight bright enough to read by outside the tent. |

As for access to electricity, I'm surprised solar charging covers aren't getting more common for campers. Last edited by ApK; 03-15-2013 at 02:54 PM. |

Ok, I'm going to try the Kindle Paperwhite. The local Staples had one and I have 14 days to see if I like it. I plan to keep the light off, if possible to extend the battery life. I did notice some folks have jailbreaked them, so I'll wait til I'm sure it is the right one and try that!
Thanks for everyone's comments. They have been really helpfull. |

That's true, BUT the battery drain for current generation of front-lit readers is so minimal that unless you're going on a hardcore 3 week middle of nowhere camp it shouldn't be an issue (especially if you only use the light when it's too dark to read otherwise).

I'll keep using it a while before I decide whether jailbreaking only for Mantano is worthwhile. |
