I think as a civilisation we are a little past that threat now. With the current ubiquity of electricity on this planet, if we ever find ourselves in a situation where we cannot get electricity at all then we'll have bigger problems than not being able to read a book -- we'll be too busy sharpening sticks to hunt our next meal.
Otherwise, I'd simply go rip an alternator out of one of the millions of vehicles out there, hook it up to a windmill, dig out an inverter from the remains of the nearest Radio Shack/Best Buy, and then power up my trusty laptop.
