Thank you for this post, it helped me rationalize the maddening debate about battery life of the various book readers.

Your math is impressive but hard for me to follow. My take-away is that when I see an absolute value given for the battery life of a book reader I'm seeing Jabberwocky penned by someone's marketing department, not by their engineers.

Thank you again for clarifying this issue.
