I have those shoots, with 12-18 hour days and multiple company moves, so I know. If there is no generator because you're not using lights, there is usually a putt-putt because Sound and VTR need power. I personally have a block battery for additional power.
If you do try to work with e-ink readers, I would love to hear how it works for you.
