See, but that's what gets me.
First, the device is advertised as having WIFI. So what's the point of measuring battery life with WIFI off?
Second - and much more important - 28 hours is NOT 8 weeks. Had they said 30 hours, I would not have had a problem. But attempting to translate that into weeks is, at best, an attempt to obfuscate things. And assuming half an hour of reading per day is certainly going for the low end.
Third, compared to the KT, my PW has substantially shorter battery life. Nothing in Amazon's advertising recognizes that, as far as I recall.
