I'm going to come at this from a different direction. I've had an older Rocket ebook (similar to the eb1150, but yet older transfer interface) as well as my current Gen3. All the E-Ink readers are rated in "number of pages per battery charge." I've NEVER reached that number of pages.
I generally manage to read 2-3 small books or 1 to 1.5 larger ones before needing to recharge. (that's small novels, not short stories.) And the battery takes several hours to recharge, and I can't read while it recharges.
Actually, at my reading speed, I got more books read per charge on my Rocket than I do on my Gen3. I prefer the E-ink screen, but wish the battery would last longer. The only way I get weeks per charge is if I don't read for several days.
So, given my history, I'd recommend one of the lcd based readers, because their battery will last a certain number of hours of run-time, "regardless" (I think) of the speed at which you change pages. Of course, you may decide the lcd screen looks worse, in which you should at least look at the E-ink screens.
And, if you turn pages fast, the placement of the buttons (or sensitivity of the touch screen) makes a significant difference. Make sure you try one of the units while sitting in a chair similar to what you normally use, or even lying down, to get a familiar posture.
Because of the way the buttons feel in my hands, I won't buy another one with only the D button of the Netronix clones, or even other models that have similar button types.
