If you got one with a solar charger, or bought a separate solar charger you could recharge your powerbank when you are not actually surfing.

If buying a brand new ereader was the option, then buying a power bank would be much cheaper. However, getting a used ereader is much cheaper than getting a power bank. Regardless, I have a power bank, so your suggestion has a lot of merit. I wonder why I hadn’t thought of it. They’re a little heavy, but if the used Kobo Aura that arrives doesn’t work out (because it’s not backlit) then I may give your idea a try. That power bank won’t add too much weight to my backpack.
Solar chargers, however, are excellent ideas with poor implementation. If I am camping, and I have access to the sunlight all day long, then charging by sun will work, but they’re so slow that they are impractical for on the go charging. What solar charger do you use that doesn’t take hours on end?
