Dear Jamesbeat:
Astak also brought this up 6 months ago. It sounds really good. The problem is that changes in battery capability and other methods are giving us 16,000 pages to a single charge within months... so who cannot just plug their device in for three hours every month or so? It is kind of like... how much will people be willing to pay additional to stretch a few more days out of a month before recharging?
