Is that really a bad thing if it gets you what you want? I have to recharge my phone every night, as do most people with a smart device. My K2 lasts 2-3 weeks but a week would be fine as well. Its the rare person away from a plug for that long anyway.
If you could get both and it lasted 20 hours I would be happy with it.

By the time it gets to the point of being large enough to read comfortably on, and I would say a 6 inch screen would be ideal the phone has to be at least that size to avoid the dual device problem. To me anything smaller than a 6 inch screen for reading would be a strain and not worth it. Now your up to a very large deviuce to carry around as a phone.
While I think my Iphone5 is a touch small by co-workers Galaxy Note 2 with only a 5.5 inch screen would still not be large enough to get a good reading area on the back of is too big to comfortably fit in a front pocket and I'm not a skinny jeans type of guy so I can still put things in my pocket.
The second thing would be protecting the screen on the ereader. I have a cover on my Kindles so they dont get damaged and they are not as strong as the traditional gorilla glass.
It looks promising don't get me wrong but Im not sure its ready for prime time yet.
