What’s cool for school
By Ronnie Gil
As the days get shorter and summer draws to an end, it’s time to get out of the pool and ready for school. Unlike bygone days, there are more ways to get kids psyched about restarting their education than just a new wardrobe. Here are some tech items that can make returning to school absolutely cool. Manufacturers suggested retail prices are given, but you can find many of these items for less.
SOLARFOCUS SOLARKINDLE LIGHTED COVER FOR KINDLE TOUCH, KINDLE 4
WHY Tired of attaching your Kindle to a wall outlet to recharge it? SolarKindle, the first solar-powered e-reader cover, has a renewable solar energy panel and integrated reserve battery that provides extended reading time and superior lighting to keep you green and unplugged. SolarFocus claims when Kindle’s battery is fully charged, the cover provides three months of unplugged reading time under normal sunlight conditions. One hour under direct sunlight equals up to three days of reading time.
The cover’s built-in pop-up LED reading lamp can be powered by the case continuously for up to 50 hours without using the Kindle’s main battery. Although the leather cover does add some bulk to your Kindle, it protects it as well.
BUY $80 Kindle 4, $90 Kindle Touch, solarmio.com, amazon.com
