But an EMP attack will make your Kindle useless! Perhaps a paperback? Once your done you can burn it!
That’s why you need the new KindlePrep shipped with a Faraday cage storage locker and a built in crank generator.
The biggest impact of an EMP attack will be the transformers used to connect parts of the grid and electronics in an immediate vicinity.
An EMP attack in a major city may kill the power grid connections from there to the countryside, but it won’t kill phones and Kindles and household appliances 100 miles away. If you have a generator or solar panels, you’ll be OK. If you’re lucky enough to live near the power generation source, they could keep the local grid up until fuel runs out (if the EMP wasn’t right on top of it) but people who need power switching and load balancing sit in the dark.
