Basically, most of my readers sit quietly in a drawer and don't even get opened from one charge to the next. Every few weeks I decide I should charge all my readers. Always, the kindle clan have some charge left. Some can have up to 60%, but the kobos are always flat as a tack. The Clara has sometimes completely seized and needs to be turned off and on again to kick it to the point I can charge it. I can't comment on how they function when I am reading from them as I haven't used them in ages. I think they went ok though.
If that is your measure of "chew through the batteries", it's a pretty strange measure and no one would have thought you meant that. The general complaints are about how quickly the battery runs down when in use. But, the probably solution is to turn of the sync on the device. Kobo has daily sync. If that is left enabled, then it will run down the battery. Turning off WiFi will also do it. But, as you know you aren't going to use them, why don't you just turn turn them off?
