The Oasis 1 can. Turn the light off and rely on external lighting and if it's not indexing anything it'll easily go ten to twelve hours on a charge. Four recharges -> sixty hours. This is not speculation, I've done it. Not quite a week of nonstop reading, but several days easily. (I do use small text, one stop from smallest, but I also read fast so I was turning pages quite rapidly: I guess the two balance out, maybe.)
Obviously you only turn the light off like this if you know you're far from power: otherwise, halving the battery life is an acceptable tradeoff for the nicer screen quality the lighting gives you.
