That's great to hear scotty. I grew up in a very remote area in Alaska, no electricity (or running water for quite a few years for that matter) in the house. Everything was lit by those little glass kerosene lamps with the bell shaped globe. I haven't seen one for years, let alone tried to read my Iliad by the light of one.

I guess it'll be kind of tough to charge the Iliad though. bet you're wishing for the advertised 10,000 page turns or whatever they told us it was going to be.
