An engineer would be able to create a make-shift battery, but if you were shipwrecked and drifted to an island with your pbooks they would be just as useless. Really wet paper never recovers. The electronic reader may perhaps work again after drying out. Besides, such a fallout is exactly as likely as series of worldwide fires that consume all pbooks.
