Solar cells of the type put on a calculator are very light- Even assuming you would need to have several square inches on the front of a cover, I do not think the weight would be an issue.
Edmund's Scientific sells solar cell material. So:
need to know allowable charge to feed into ereader - any that can charge through a USB cable should be good candidates for fairly low charges;
need to know amount of solar cell material to create that much charge;
need way to connect charge coming from solar cells to feed into USB cable;
need USB cable end that fits that eBook reader;
glue and connecting mediums.
I'll be impressed if someone creates a Rube Goldberg solar eBook charger
Who needs commercial accessories anyhow!
Post pictures if you do
