The bigger issue is I prefer reading in the shade. Although I can draw some power in the shade, it might not be enough to charge.
I figure that if the solar cells were on the surface then they would continue to trickle charge the Kindle even when not in use, I doubt thatthe kindle uses more power than would be generated during the "off hours" but the problem is finding cells small enough
