(Easy advice on how to keep your e-reader charged up and ready)
Today’s e-readers are a great way to carry an entire library in your backpack and be ready to read your current novel anytime you get a free moment. But, with the advancements that continue in the new Kindle, Nook, Nook Color, Sony Reader, Libirie, and other e-readers, battery life is starting to decline. The Kindle ranges from 7 days of battery life to a maximum of a month. But, older versions of the Kindle have dramatically less battery life. Add in the color screen and extra horsepower of the Nook Color, and the battery life goes down to about a day. Considering these are great devices to tag along on your next plane ride or vacation, a great thing to accompany your e-reader is a USB Battery Charger that extends the battery life of your e-reader so you are sure you are covered. These small devices often weigh just a few ounces but provide replacement power sources for when you are right in the middle of your favorite bestseller. One of our favorites is the Energizer XP2000 Universal Rechargeable Power Pack. The great thing about this battery pack is the size. It’s smaller than a deck of cards and weighs just 2.4 ounces. Your e-reader isn’t weighing you down, so why should your backup power? This is a great way to ensure that, like Energizer’s motto, you have “Energy to go.”
