Tried a pocketbook touch lux 5 but returned it because the battery life wants exactly good( one week or less on heavy use it's not acceptable after tasting one month+)

The only Sony Reader that I've run into that doesn't have a usable battery, is a PRS-700 (Sony's only attempt at a lighted screen). I even have one of their PRS-500s that still has a decent battery. So Sony's are exceptional and I don't think you're going to find anything to compare to them. You might be able to find a Sony PRS-3 with the lighted case, but it's not the same as a front-lit screen.
That said, I've got a used PocketBook PB615 ("Basic Lux," but the Russian version without WiFi) and the battery is extremely good on that device. It can go uncharged for months and the battery hardly drops. On the other extreme, I bought a used PocketBook Touch Lux 3 and (even though I replaced the battery) it fails regularly over night. And everything I've seen on the TL5 hasn't impressed me too much, especially the 8 LEDs instead of 9. I'm still looking at a Basic Lux 2 however, it has a front light but without touch screen.
My Tolinos (especially the older, pre-Kobo (near) hardware clones) have good battery life (none were bought new). The (near) Clara clone (Shine 3) has the shortest battery life of the crowd.
Not much help. Maybe the PocketBook Basic Lux 2 would have a better battery life.
I'm guessing others, who know more, will chime in.
