That was the reason I got my 505 as well, not eInk per se, but that it could last me an entire transatlantic trip, which my previous reader, a Palm T3, couldn't, even with the battery addon. I wasn't buying it because eInk was fantastic, I was perfectly happy reading on a backlit screen, I was buying it because only eInk offered the endurance I was after.
It is also why I don't see myself using the 505 again, now I have an iPad, as it also has the battery life to handle my trips, and it much more capable that the 505.
