In that case, I'd buy an 8" windows tablet, install Calibre + extras on it, find a spot with wifi, buy the book, import in Calibre and put it on my reader from there.
Battery life isn't that important, as you'd have to charge your reader too once in a while. And turned off, a tablet doesn't use a lot of power either.

As a matter of fact, we did something like that (but the other way around) our last holiday. We had bought a dashcam to record our trip across France and Spain. But as the SD card can only hold about 4 hours of film, we used our tablets to transfer the data to an external HDD. And if the tablet was running low on power, we'd plug it in the car cigaret thingie...
