Sony's website and PR campaigns say 7500 page turns or approximately 2 weeks. A LOT of the in depth reviews I saw all said the same thing: they tend to get an average of 7 days with lots of reading from the Sony. The only way to get 2 weeks out of it is generally to not use it.
The Kindle has close to the same battery life whether it is used or not, in most cases 3 weeks with heavy usage and 4 weeks or more with light usage (with 3G and/or wifi off).
Now remember these numbers are for the latest generation Kindle3.
Some of the earlier Kindle 2s had a "average" battery life of around 10-14 days, and some reviews use the review of the "2" to compare to the latest offerings from Sony and B&N, in order to cast Amazon in a bad light.
