As soon as you put a light on the reader you have have the same problem as LCD's with regards to battery life. You have a huge quiescent draw turning electrons into photons. While LCD's are not image stable like E Ink, most of the battery issues come from backlighting. Granted you could only use the light when needed, unlike most LCD's.
