Try this mains USB charger for your ebook reader

Ebook readers charge their batteries by USB.

Now you’d normally do this by connecting your ebook reader to one of the USB ports your PC, but there are always times when we’re not near a PC and the battery on our ebook reader is fading.

Enter the mains USB charger.    For less than a tenner, this brilliant little charger plugs into the mains, so no computer needed, and connects to your ebook reader by means of your normal USB cable.

Now I know that your ebook reader battery lasts for ages between charges, but just pop this little charger in your bag or backpack when you go on holiday or on that business trip and you’ll never need to worry about how to recharge your reader again. I often find it’s easier to recharge my ebook battery by plugging this into the nearest electrical mains socket than to interrupt what I’m doing and connect to my PC.

And another benefit of the mains USB charger is that you can still use your reader while it’s charging. If you charge from your computer’s USB port, then as you know your reading has to come to a halt. But with the mains charger, just carry on reading as normal. And instead of 12 hours or so for a full charge, your reader usually gets fully tanked up in less than four hours.

Get one, you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.

And if the makers of ebook readers had any sense, they’d supply one of these great little battery chargers with every ebook.
