You won't get a month of battery life with Boox. I think the most I get in standby is a few days and my wifi is always turned off. I mainly use the manual controls when navigating it, which work quite well, and usually just use the touchscreen to search within the book.

Lately I only use the Boox when I read outside and use my Iphone (with stanza app in night mode) the rest of the time.

I may be wrong, but I don't think any of the readers in your list have the pearl screen. If I were to buy another reader I would definitely pick one with the newest screen technology.
