The battery I linked to above shows by indicator light that it is charging when placed under BRIGHT indoor lighting. I haven't tested how long it would have to stay that way for a full charge.

The bottom line question is, can the solar panel capture enough energy to make up for the amount that an e-ink reader will use during the same amount of time?
