When readin they use no power. Flipping/turning pages uses the power.

Actually the phone can last longer as it turns off the screen. The eink ereader uses very much more power to listen to audio than for reading.

Yes, about €20 here for one like a fat phone that gives about x4 or more running time (and audio books/music are a tiny fraction of consumption compared to video or phone calls as the screen should blank. Turn off all visualisation and screen notifications).
Reading text with brightness only enough is less battery use than video or phone calls. A battery pack will extend that to more than all day.
