Yeah, electronics have been the bane of the 21st century cycle tourist
.
How did they manage before?
Food for thought?
most definitely food for thought, as
@andym points out I have duplication in the electronics...also, which will be a huge relief to some of you, I have no intention of a fancy blog, book or a gazillion photos. Sacrilege as it may seem to some I can quite happily travel and take no photos whatsoever, I quite often forget a camera. I've also read quite a few of the CGOAB blogs now and there is a repetitive theme of searching for charge points and making sure the 'essential' daily tasks of photo and blog updates are done.
I did a quick list earlier of all the options and realised that the most essential for me is the Kindle, I know that the other options can all act as readers but there's a marked difference in battery life. However I do have a Nexus 7, as well as a Kindle, and have read quite a few books on that and found it perfectly fine. I don't have a smartphone having changed to a really cheap basic clamshell as I found the smartphone I did have, a Nokia 925, was great at everything but phone calls.
I think, though it's hard to verify, that a Luxos U would be able to keep charged a Kindle, 7" tablet and phone/smartphone or any combination of those three. If it can then a Nexus/Kindle/Basic phone combo seems to cover all the bases for me.
