It all depends on where your reading is done. My husband has a kindle and he'd use that solar charger only a few time each year as he mostly reads in bed. In the dark... And no solar panel has worked in the dark so far!
Hm. In my case, it might work using the evil red glow emanating from my eyes

I'd like a cover with a solar panel strip at the front. The reader would charge by just having it lie on the table at the office. I could probably get by using only the power supplied when side-loading books, or I could connect the reader to the cell phone charger that's always plugged in over here.
