Yeah, that Kobo Aura H2O was the one I was considering, thanks Mihun. I generally don't take books for myself. I've already escaped to exactly where I want to be, so I'm pretty zoned in and tripped out as it is, swimming, processing wood, fiddling with the tarps, solo paddling, sitting in the sun, or napping in the tent. My wife on the other hand loves to unwind with a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. The sheer volume of books you can load on one of those things is impressive. I didn't know about the WIFI/battery thing YC, thanks for that. I'll ask about it in the store. A charger, like the one you mention might be an idea, thanks Oldie. It sure is good to hear your voice again around here. Preloading it with some good selections is an excellent idea, thanks memaquay.
