This is the original poster's request (bold is mine). Nothing was mentioned about battery life.

"Some people claim that Reflective LCD devices such as Aluratek Libre pro & Ectaco jetbook are at par with the e- ink based ones.

Please discuss which technology is better of the two, in terms of strain caused on eyes & page turning capability.
THanks"

The long battery life is a direct function of the display, and the display only. The fact that the display only draws power when you go to a different page is one of the main features.
Isn't battery life also a function of the battery type and size?

If you don't care about charging frequently, then reflective LCD may be fine, though the choices are rather limited.
What do you mean by frequent? I get a few days worth on mine as do others.
