My JBL lasts me over a week before I need to change batteries under normal circumstances.

If I read intensively, it still lasts more than a day.
Assuming no idle draw and no other things like 3G or WiFi, and you turn 1 page per minute constantly, a "normal" ebook reader that boasts 8000 pages will land you theoretically 133 hours of runtime, or about 6 times what the jetBook will manage. The major difference is that if you leave both idle, the jetBook will continue to draw power to maintain its screen image, while E-Ink will not. So if you slow the page turning to 1 every 2 minutes, the E-Ink extends to well over 200 hours of runtime, while the jetBook stays around 20-25.

Of course, this is based on advertising figures, which most devices don't seem to achieve in the real world.
