We can talk about how to charge the Oasis. Let's play MacGyver.

Just checking -- the complaint about the Oasis is that it's insufficiently customizable, right? i.e. you can't tuna it properly?

I tried to explain the concept of MacGyver to my kids (teenagers). They looked at me as if I had lost my mind

I believe banana and tuna pizza is an actual thing

No it's ok, I remembered it from an advert, some pregnancy thing, google restores sanity.

You mean charge it with a rubber band, a paper clip and a small rodent?

Of course considering how thin the Oasis is, and how very thin electronics tend to get generate more heat, perhaps you can use the oasis to cook your tuna.

There was en episode I remember vivdly where he "built" an explosive out of a small facecream jar to break a locked door.

Which I always bring in discussions with my husband when he complains about what I have in my purse. You never know, I might need all this if I need to break free from a locked cell, right ?

Don't give Amazon ideas. Next you know they'll come up with an "Amazon watch" that is 90% battery, and you charge the 10 mAh battery on the ereader by plugging it to the wrist-watch as you read.

You see it works for both righties and lefties, because you just switch the watch to the other hand too when you switch hands on the reader.

But to be more 'green' the watch will be gerbil-powered (don't forget to feed it!)

The gerbil on the wheel can be strapped to one's chest, with a charging wire running down the sleeve to the "watch".

To solve feeding issues, Amazon could sell a premium leather funnel and tube system that attaches to one's chin, collects crumbs over the course of one's meals and snacking through the day, and channels it to the gerbil.

Geez, this could really be Amazon's most advanced kindle ever.

Yep, sounds like a plan. I think we're *finally* making some progress here

but it should come with a warning for people with pacemakers. having a generator so close to the pacemaker is a huge problem.
