A lot of modern mobile devices can't wander too far from the grid, requiring constant recharging. Then there's the Kindle... I got a low-battery warning yesterday, for only about the third time since I've owned it. In fact, it's been so long since it was recharged, it took me a day to find the cable to charge it, and further, I used it after the warning long enough to kill a full charge on a lot of phones. Pretty impressive. Now I just have to remember to put that cord in an easier to remember location.
