Actually, there has been some talk of putting a solar photovoltaic cell on the inside of a crush-resistant case and letting that charge the battery. However, IF your eBook Reader has an easily replaceable battery like the EZ Reader (one screw)... then why not simply put a spare battery for $14.95 in a built-in pocket on the case.


Still further info for discussion, the new Mentor Intruque will have 16,000 pages of text to a single charge... or double what all other E-Ink devices now get. They are NOT yet saying HOW they do it: but they do.
