Based on my experience with the PRS-500, using the ebook reader as an MP3 player does significantly impact the battery life. In a relatively short time (compared to using it just as an ebook reader), the battery meter dropped by one bar in about an hour.
Rather than using my ebook reader as an audio player, I prefer to use a stand-alone audio player. Overall, it provides a better listening experience (such as a much-longer battery life and capacity [my current player has 8gb of storage], the ability to listen to my music the way that I want, and playlists) than my ebook reader does.
