A typical lithium ion battery has a life expectancy of around 5 years. The clock starts ticking when the battery is first charged, and nothing will halt it.
As you very rightly say, for an eInk reading device the battery life is purely determined by this physical lifetime of the battery, and not on how you choose to charge it.
