Quite frankly, I don't see the need for it. But then, I don't have any objections to it as long as it's an optional accessory. So for those who want it, go for it.

Hi. A trip to the beach here is a good 8 hours. Sorry couldn't resist.
Now I can think of another reason for solar chargers. It would save electricity.
Ok so probably not much but some.
Now you are right, for the casual reader solar charging might be overkill. For a voracious reader, it could be fabulous.
Or someone who spends hours at the doctor.
