I was also thinking about getting this cover, but the light position and weight really seem to be a problem.

About these other AAA LED lights, how is the battery life with Eneloops?

I have a Fenix LD01 flashlight, which uses one AAA battery, and at the lowest setting it outputs 11 lumens and lasts for 8 hours. And that's painfully bright, I think the ideal for reading would be around 2-3 lumens. So I would expect a battery life of 20+ hours with one AAA battery, is that possible?

Yes, I have used the flashlight to read, especially in my car while waiting for someone at night. Actually I do that I lot, that's why I want a reading light. The problem with the flashlight is that its beam is too narrow, so to cover a whole book you need to have it far from the page, and it's hard to find a good position.
