The following devices have a decent battery life in standby mode:

Sony PRS-500/505
Amazon Kindle
Hanlin V3/V5 and clones (BeBook, Aztak, etc)

While the following devices do NOT have a good standby battery life (a week or less):

iRex iLiad, DR1000, DR800
Bookeen CyBook, Opus
Sony PRS-600
BeBook Neo/Onyx Book 60
B&N nook
Pocketbook 360
To add to the list...
I've turned of my Sony PRS-900 maybe once or twice in the last 2 months, whenever I am done reading or walking away from it for more than a minute or two I put it in standby mode. I have to recharge my battery about every 2 weeks.
