Ventura, a swiss watch maker, went bankrupt sadly - but they'd decided to go all digital and had developed a digital/electric equivalent of the mechanical watch with the 'automatic' power supply, that uses your wrist movement to turn a rotor to wind up the watch mainspring.
So, instead of sunlight, any movement would charge up a battery. And since ereaders don't require much power, and there's plenty of room for more than one rotor set....
