If youre thinking one of those cheap TP4056 modules, id prefer if it was outside the device.At 1A they get pretty toasty(havent tried them at 500ma). Not sure how the heat would affect e-ink screen, so better be safe.
Preffered way for me is using the jst connector and making the module external with the male connector(female on battery) + slapping a ram heatsink on it for good measure and enclose all the shabang in shrinkwrap. Also easier to replace that way if charger module stops working.
