I have both a Gen3 and a Rocket Pro. I get about the same effective READING TIME from both. So far, I've found that the number of page turns ends up costing about the same time reading as the display power limit on the Rocket. In other words, if I put the same books on both, I get about the same amount read before needing to charge. The difference is the Rocket uses the same power all the time it's on, while the gen3 uses most of it's power on pageturns - but every menu choice is a page turn, and every scroll down the library list is a page turn, etc. At my reading speed, it ends up about the same.
The Ebookwise is mostly the same as my older Rocket, you might look at that (and I've used my Rocket for more than 10 years with no screen problems, but like you have broken the eInk screen once (just got it back from Bookeen).)
I very much like the display on the gen3, but now I'm going to be a bit paranoid about damage....
