But the simple fact is that a solar charger for an e-reader is easily technologically feasible. |

Here is an interesting article (in french, sorry), about a phone made with the sunpartner technology.
http://www.frandroid.com/smartphone/...aique#comments google translate, in english: https://translate.google.fr/translat...photovoltaique Among other things, it speaks of a 10% loos of luminosity. (Don't apply as is to e-ink screen, because of frontlight.) |

Yeah, I have a little external solar charger in case of emergency. I also have a little AAA battery powered one. I'd rather have those in reserve than count on the device being solely solar-charged, though I can see its use in improving reading access in some areas of the world where power is hard to come by.
