Peter,

Funny you say that, I have components incoming for me to do just this. I have a 260mA solar panel at 6V that I will be using to make a USB charger that can charge both iPhones and everything else USB'ish

I wanted the kobo to be stand alone self-recharging. and I wanted to conquer simple electronics.
