Have you tried using an AC to USB adapter?

No. I don't need a normal charger.

The point was, with the adapter, you may be able to use it while charging...

Hmm I doubt I could use it while charging, even with an adapter. Might be, won't get one one just to check that though, not worth the price.

You could probably just borrow any AC to USB adapter that a friend might have. Different USB adapters don't have different voltages - that kinda defeats the "Universal" part of USB. Ask someone who has an iPad - they're most likely to have one.

Pretty good. Only has two real downsides (assuming you can install good reader software). Battery life is much longer on a dedicated reader. This is mostly due to the screen type, e-ink is designed to be read in bright spaces while not being backlit (less battery usage). Many claim that means less eye-strain.

How well can you read on a tablet out in the sun?

I had a cheap one for a while and it was pretty hard to read in the sun tbh. And even at the lowest brightest setting it was still too bright for me to read comfortably.
