So obviously, what was bound to happen here was for me to get the camera out, and for the screen to just go totally blank when i plugged it in.
So yeah, I can't really show you what's going on, the screen is basically blank now. But before that, it was blank on the left half, and the right half was somehow stripped grey. Before that, I had all sorts of stripes and lines from top to bottom of the screen.

Or you could get a solar USB charger...

Yeah, it's the main reason why I love those things: to be able to travel easily with thousands of pages of books without carrying many kilos of books. Otherwise I would just read paper books, mostly.
Thanks for the advice!
