SolarFocus Technology Company Ltd. has just unveiled one of the most ingenious and practical solar powered gadgets that we’ve seen in a long time — a sun-powered cover for the most popular e-reader on the market, the Amazon Kindle. Made from lightweight material with a solar panel built right into the cover, the SolarKindle, which debuted yesterday afternoon at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, has a dual charging USB/solar reserve battery that extends the Kindle’s unplugged reading life for months and makes charging on-the-go a cinch — just one hour under direct sunlight provides up to three days of reading time.
