First, I am willing to concede that my experience here in San Antonio, TX may differ
somewhat from yours in Toronto, Canada. Perhaps as much as mine does from a
certain poster powering his home in Hawaii.
The specs for the example adapter show an output at 5.5v @ 1000mA (1.0Amps)
USB2 specs allow for 1000mA and you can usually draw 20% more than that without
encountering problems. Not that the power circuitry for the eReader's builtin battery
would allow drawing an excessive amount while charging.
The OP was starting with a $2 kit that had a tiny solar panel with an output of 5.5v
@ 80mA. The components that I described offer the closest to his initial kit, in terms
of panel size, and price - that would provide reasonable, if longish, charging times.
If you went to the links I provided and looked around, at all, you could find larger and
higher priced panels that also could be used as I described, these might charge the
eReader a good deal faster. (Or a larger panel might not make any difference at all
depending on other relevant factors.)
The link to the adapter can also be used to find other adapters, (including one with two
Cigarette Lighter type sockets so you could double your panels) at various prices.
Luck;
Ken
