As DNSB and other have said, since actual usage patterns have a huge influence on battery use with e-ink it's not really possible to give you that information. With a phone since the majority of the power in reading a book is likely involved in keeping the screen lit (rather than changing what's on it) it's pretty easy to compare (not so much if you're doing something that's going to take heavy CPU usage, but reading a book shouldn't take a lot of CPU power). With e-ink, the device is primarily using power when it refreshes the page. So if you read at 1 page per minute, your hourly power usage will be significantly different mine if I read 2 pages per minute (twice as many page refreshes). That's why no one is jumping in with info in the form you're looking for. There have been a number of discussions on this board for how to measure battery life and no one has yet come up with an accepted standard.
