I got tired of wondering about the charging options of the Papyrus so I e-mailed Innoversal and asked. Just got an answer from them. And I quote:

"Dear Sir

Thanks your inquiry. The old article showed the concept of our product. We had tried to enable epaper by solar cell and it's worked but in our product we embed 3G module it's need more power to support so we embed battery inside.

The correct version is we did not put solar cell module inside and our device need charge by USB. The product launch is on schedule.

Thank you
Best Regards"

That blog article with the mention of solar was dated in Jan, 2009. Seems as though it didn't work out and there is now no solar at all; the device is recharged via the USB cable.
