The SolarKindle is a case and solar-powered battery charger for the Amazon Kindle, it was announced back in November but we had no exact date as to when we’ll get to see it in the marketbut now SolarFocus Technology Company Ltd. has announced that the product will be available January 14th at a cost of $79.99.
The device consists of a leather case and built-in extended battery, with a solar panel mounted on the front cover. The panel charges up your e-reader whenever you’re near sunlight, and then juices up the case’s own battery for backup power, providing a guaranteed three months of unplugged Kindle usage under a “normal sunlight environment.” The above cover seems to be on an entry level Kindle so we’ll have to wait and find out if the latest and new Kindles will be supported and we won’t have to much longer as it will be unveiled by SolarFocus next week in CES.
