I must admit that very few camping and/or hiking trips have had me reading more than a couple of hours per day which gives me two weeks before I would have to recharge the KA1. Camping is bad enough with all the work of home and damn few of the conveniences but carving out a couple of hours to read is doable, OTOH, after a full day of hiking (walking, climbing, whatever), the only reading I feel up to is the directions on the bottle of Tiger Balm.

Your camping trip is very different from mine. When I go camping, I spend most of my time lying in a hammock reading. I will go on a hike for an hour or so per day, but for me, camping is for relaxing and reading and communing with nature. I will spend at least 5 or 6 hours per day reading while on a camping trip, which at 15 hours of reading time, gives me (at best) 3 days. I do have a solar charger--we use it for our phones and my husband's iPad and charge them at night.
When I go on a camping trip, I usually bring at least 2 e-readers loaded with books so I don't get stuck. I do charge them when we go into town (usually at least one time during the week) as I get itchy when my reader's battery goes below 50%.
