Harness the Power of the Sun for Your Kindle

At this year's CES, Solarmio introduced the world's first solar e-reader cover for the Kindle and subsequently became a Design and Engineering Award honoree for the same device. The SolarKindle is a protective case with a solar panel affixed to the front, an internal backup battery, and a built-in LED reading light.  The Kindle “snaps” into place in a form-fitting interior compartment.  When the case is exposed to sunlight, it will start charging the Kindle.  Once the Kindle is at full capacity, it switches over and gives a charge to the internal battery, which powers the LED reading light.
