Help!!!

I would like to be able to read my ebooks two-pages at a time (meaning one page next to the other, as I would an actual book).

It occurs to me that I could probably do that very nicely with a larger tablet/ebook combo -- something like the pandigital or the nook, on which I could load a program that could do such a thing --

I want to know which would be my best choices. I think it's nifty to have the other apps, and the color is kewl -- BUT it seems to me there's a huge tradeoff in terms of battery life once I go to color, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a color device that can last longer than 6-8 hours at a charge. Because frankly, it seems a little silly to have a device primarily for ebooks and convenience during the day, if it's tethered to the wall charging, all the time (unless I can find one that utilizes a car charger for between-errands charging, not that I would read while driving -- cuz I know that question will be the next one for me!)
