That depends on a number of factors. Eink consumes power only during screen transitions, but if you turn on wifi/3G that will constantly drain the battery.
When wifi is turned off (airplane mode), my kindle lets me get through 3-5 full length books (150K+ words per book) with a single charge. The same on a typical tablet will require at least two charges per book, even with brightness turned down, night mode, wifi off and battery conservation mode.
