What is even the use case for this? On how many occasions are you going to be away from a wall outlet for several days, while still reading for hours every day?

On vacation, camping in the woods.

Hmmm... Plenty of options. I keep a dual output USB adapter in the car. If we are hiking, I carry a solar powered USB charger though having it mounted outside the backpack when hiking is a bit of a pain but when stationary, it mounts happily outside the tent. And then there is the XYL's 10.4AH power bank.
I must admit that very few camping and/or hiking trips have had me reading more than a couple of hours per day which gives me two weeks before I would have to recharge the KA1. Camping is bad enough with all the work of home and damn few of the conveniences but carving out a couple of hours to read is doable, OTOH, after a full day of hiking (walking, climbing, whatever), the only reading I feel up to is the directions on the bottle of Tiger Balm.
