Ronlizpatsimon I'm assuming your answer is tongue in cheek. You're not seriously suggesting I carry a transformer everywhere with me to keep my ereader battery from dying.

No matter how aware you are of your surroundings, It's still illegal to read or text at a red traffic light. That's the most likely place a cop would be watching you to nail you. What if you want to finish a paragraph when the light turns green and a road raged idiot behind you loses it?
I too have seen people with eReaders in waiting rooms, etc, and wish I had my Vox instead of having to browse old Readers Digests. However, if one were to carry it around for such occasions, the battery needs to have a longer life, or the Vox needs to be less power-hungry. Elsewhere on this forum someone was using a rechargeable battery pack.
