I don't have statistics but my iRiver reader lasts for just a few hundred pages before the battery completely runs out, but iRiver specs claimed that it's able to read 7000 - 9000 pages on a full charge.

I always read my ebooks stored on the SD card. I wonder if it is generally the case that accessing the SD card uses more battery power?
Guess what
The same technology storage (flash) is inside your reader.
Change your brand of SD Card and see if it helps.
There are crummy cards that don't power down and sleep.
