Solar panels just don't yield enough power unless they're huge and in a location that gets more sun than you or the eInk screen of your reader could handle for any amount of time.

You could get one of those solar panels that charge an akku pack and use the pack to charge the ereader, but unless you travel in a desert or something it will be a rather frustrating experience. These things just don't work unelss they get a ton of sun for a couple of days.

Bring batteries or use more reliable sources of power, for example if you're doing a bike tour you could use a dynamo.

USB ports still work best if you're not going far away from civilization...
