That's impossible to answer as it probably depends on some yet-to-be invented/discovered technology or principle.

We know Fusion works. Stars at night and Sun in daytime. We think a scaled down version might be possible. But OTOH there is no indication that a bistable colour panel (aka color e-paper) fast enough for an e-reader is possible.

Meanwhile you can now read on some tablets or phones for up to 30 hours (total) and get paper-like QLED, OLED and LCD screens. Still not as good as mono-eink in decent ambient light with front-light off, but as good as mono with front-light, if properly adjusted. Also Dark mode is better.
