But it sounds like a reworking of the power supply for most ebook devices would be necessary.
From what I saw of the article, is that they haven't certified the standard lithium ion battery's for space travel. Probably because the fire hazard they can be.

But, the new lithium ion battery's they have just started using for the Tesla Roadster might prove to be a future solution.

but back to the original topic, how hard can it be for NASA to rework a set of ebook readers to run on AA's. This the agency that spend a few million dollar's designing a pen that could write in Zero G
