Unless, of course, you are car camping (which isn't really camping).
Depends how long you're reading for. If you read for 2 hours a day with the light on a medium brightness setting, you should easily get 2 weeks usage on a single battery charge. There are chargers available for the Kindle which will charge it from AA batteries, too.
