The weeks or months of battery life that my e-reader has is a game changer. It entirely changes how I think about maintenance of the device (ie. I don't).

True, but if it doesn't have power when you need it, what's the real impact? (Setting aside the inconvenience of, say, going on a flight and not having something to read.)
If your PDA doesn't have power when you need a critical piece of information, that's a real problem.
