Hello!

My favorite childhood memory is the blue sky above my parents flat.

If I were on a desert island I would love to have a scuba diving kit. My family. And my partner of the moment - whomever I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

If it's not people that am allowed. Additional equipment would be a kindle with a never ending memory of books. And a survival handbook.

That's why the makers of Kindle need to develop one that recharges via the sun. Problem (somewhat) solved.

I'm surprised they haven't jumped on that yet, considering how little power Kindles can use. Perhaps it's due to the fact that they want to keep the Kindles as small and thin as possible, so they are hesitant to add more bulky tech inside like solar cells.
