You just have to treat the case as part of the device, and get into the habit of snapping it back in whenever you're not actually reading.

That matches my experience exactly.
Since I got my Oasis, battery life hasn't been something I've had to think about at all. Even on long-haul flights I've found that there are enough natural breaks where I just instinctively put the reader back in its cover that I'm nowhere near running out.
For my usage pattern, the Oasis has hit the sweet spot - I get a reader that's really comfortable to hold, but still has a battery life that is long enough to exceed anything I will ever need.
Other people will clearly have different needs, but for me the Oasis hits the spot.
