  1. A backup battery? Wow! by squiggleslash · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, I know. You grab your Kindle, remove the charging cable, step out the door, and then, quick as a flash, two weeks later, you get a low battery. Who hasn't had to put up with this. Only the other month, I was kidnapped, and when they released me a week later, my Kindle's battery was barely half full! What if my wife hadn't paid the ransom? I'd have been left with nothing to read!
