Battery life is more department on page turns in a "dedicated" reader, although I'm not sure there are any.
But how many people are away from a power source for weeks?
Plugging it into a power sorce or laying it on an inductive charger once a day leads to remembering where you left it the last time you saw it.
Mirasol and electrowetting will increase battery life a lot, so will Pixal Qi and dedicated readers will reach a point where it will not pay to sell them.
(I wonder how Mirasol works at high altitudes?)
