If I'm going to run down the battery on my phone, it will be for something photo related, not book related. My current phone has really good battery life, but there are times when it does unexpectedly run down, for one reason or another (usually because I've taken or edited an excessive amount of photos) and I appreciate that 15% or 10% that is still there because I was conservative in other ways, like not reading on it.
More realistically, I don't read on my phone because I think the screen is too small. I'll make do with a 6" eink screen because it's weighs a lot less in my bag than my 10" tablet does, but I prefer to read on a tablet. I get frustrated just looking at the little column of text on my phone; it's pretty much the same reason I don't read mass market paperback books.
