Well I'm one of those who reads on an other than E-ink screen.

My Jetbook lite gets me 20 - 24 hours on 4 rechargeable AA batterys.
That works out to 4 - 7 days depending on how much I'm reading.
When it runs out of juice I just swap in a new set of charged batterys and 2 min later I'm back reading again.

Jetbook Lite recently sold on newegg for 70$ and 2$ shipping.

Compare that to any e-ink display you care to name.

Its what I can afford, and I'm thrilled with it. So thrilled that I bought the wife one, then my father and father in law, giving one to my wifes boss soon, and my daughter is using my old original Jetbook that I started with.

Keep your e-ink, and your long hours of use if your happy.
I'll keep my Reflective TFT screen, multiple formats (most of any reader) and low cost, and let me know when E-ink looses that "flash" at page turn. Maybe then I'll give it another look.
