John;
I agree that the 16 font is quite small but so far it lets me read the many .pdb books that I have on hand, without noticing the lose of reading flow. Once I get into
a story, I don't think I'm reading each word, anyway.
The only place I saw the missing words issue was between pages, where the first line of the next page skipped a word or two from where it should have started. It's annoying
enough that I really expect them to fix it soon. It should be fixable and the company has
the updating and patching experience to do it. With the holidays ending they should be
in a position to get it done, in short order.
You can get 4xAA Solar charging kits with folding solar panels, that would take up little
space or weight amongst your camping gear. ( I saw one that also provided 5v USB power and various cell phone adapters. )
GA;
The "Backwoods Home" web site sells collections of back issues on CD. The CDs are
filled with the PDFs of scanned pages and/or articles. They have a number of subject
based CDs with PDFs of their best articles on that subject. Last time I looked, they had
some free downloads, in the same format.
Luck;
Ken
