SolarKindle charges your eReader in the sun

It seems that books are starting to slowly filter out of homes, and eReaders and tablets are taking their place. Though it is a bit sad to see them go, the environment is probably a little happier about the shift. Even with these kinds of devices though, it takes energy to power them, which can be costly, and still have some adverse effects on the environment. Which is why cases like the SolarKindle can come in rather handy.

This pleather case encourages you to read outside so that it can soak up some sunlight to give you a reading light at night. Not to mention that it can also be a backup power source for your kindle. It contains a 1250mAh battery that can provide up to 50 hours of illumination when fully charged. Unfortunately there aren’t any specifics on how long it needs to charge up. You’ll be looking at $80 for it when the device ships this month.
