Apocalypse-proof kindle

[CynicalSurvival]

This was cute, I thought... From the guy who wrote 'the Knowledge'

"But if civilisation ever did collapse, and the grid went down, you’d risk the pathos of having the world’s information saved in the palm of your hand but may struggle to recharge the device and actually access it all... The solution would be to create your own apocalypse-proof Kindle. Hardened, and with integrated solar panels so that it could recharge itself indefinitely if the grid ever went down. And this is exactly what I’ve made...."

(Admin, feel free to move to 'equipment', I wasn't sure whether to post there or here!)

Does one have to have an Amazon account to operate a Kindle, do you know?

Someone already thought of it and has it on sale.

Still, might be fun to make.

No it will read Pdf files fine an account is good for non pdf stuff though.
