One thing to bear in mind is that the device will appear to freeze when the battery dies. This because the last page you were reading will remain on the screen. You probably know that already, but I thought it was worth mentioning as I think some people get confused when their battery runs out, and believe that the device has 'frozen' because it becomes unresponsive.

Just by counting the page numbers as displayed at the bottom of your reader's screen. Note that some epubs will display an estimated page number, cased on character/byte count, and that the page numbers will not correspond to page turns. In this case you need to work out a multiplier. For instance the page numbers displayed might be:
page turn 0: 1
page turn 1: 1
page turn 2: 1
page turn 3: 2
page turn 4: 2
page turn 5: 3
page turn 6: 3
page turn 7: 3
In which case your multiplier would be 2.5 (for every 2.5 page turns the page number displayed advances by 1). So if your battery lasted from page 1 to page 1000, that would be 2500 page turns.
Obviously your multiplier would not normally be a nice round number, but it will give you a close estimate of total page turns.
