E-book reader Kindle Paperwhite

Since I get books from sources other than just Amazon, I use Calibre for all my books. I added 2 features to Calibre, 1 to show on which device (I have 3, 2 tablets and 1 Kindle) the book is, and 2 if I have read the book.
AS far as the battery goes, the Kindle battery is like a lifetime compared to the 8 'hours' that tablets are good for.

As someone who has used Kindles for years now . . . don't hold your breath on getting anywhere near eight weeks out of the battery. That usage is based on very limited reading time--thirty minutes a day and one page turn per minute. Most people who buy e-readers are avid readers who spend much more than thirty minutes a day reading, and they tend to read at a much faster rate than one page turn per minute unless they're using the smallest font (which most of us over 50 don't use).

But the battery life will still be very, very good.

Correct i usually get like 2 weeks out of it with reading 90 min a day...seems to get less and less every charge

I like to use an application called calibre to manage my free ebooks...

I have an old kindle 2 that i love but recently i been using my ipad.....of course sitting in the sun outside. Nothing beats e-ink..

Here are a few links you probably should look at. There are THOUSANDS of free books available for you. These pages should get you started toward reading pleasure. I have a NOOK instead of a Kindle, for various reasons, and usually have a number of books loaded, and lots more on hold at my local library. All of which I access online.
