The Kindle uses a lot more power when that’s enabled. Unlike a back lit LCD the e-ink display uses very little power. I note they say at least 3 months, I’d expect to get unlimited life span from the solar if the Kindle wasn’t being used heavily.

I’m actually in the process of building my own solar powered charger for my iPhone from barebone passive circuit components (resistors, capacitors, solar cells, diodes etc)… building things yourself really is fun and there’s an amazing sense of self-achievement when it works!
