I use my iPhone 4 for audiobooks while hiking, probably +8 hours a day, albeit with all connectivity off and the screen off, and I can get +7 days out of it easily. I'd expect an ebook reader to last for at least as long.
A typical trip lasts 7-10 days, but I usually allow 2-3 days for bad weather, those days I spend most of the day reading.

I find my Glo lasts for about 8 hours of reading with WiFi turned off, so I expect to need to charge it 3-4 times per trip.
