Question I like the Libre but so so battery life has me thinking about e ink reader

pocket book 360 maybe another e paper screen reader like the astak pocket pro I really don't need a bigger than a five screen. I want a device thats pocket portable (big guy my libre fits in my back jeans pocket ) And Im not interest in newspapers or adobe technical files just books. I check out some e ink readers they seem slow and sluggish compaired to Libre (all so far are the sonys) and the 300 was the only one that offered equal reading quality experience, the other touch screen models had way too much glare and 300 lack memory card store is a turn off for me plus it dog slow. Are the pocket pro 360 or the astak pocket pro as god awful slow as the sonys? The best so far between re charges with my Libre is five hours . Is the battery life of the e ink screen ebooks readers that much better in the forty to sixty hour range ? or are those grossly over stated claims like the Libres twenty hour claims before recharge? Im curious especially you floks out there with both the libre lcd and e paper screen readers to the recharge numbers hold water or they just more over stated manufactor hype? Im curious because battery life is getting worse not better on a fairly new device.
