Edit: I'm leaning towards the Kobo Mini because I like the small form factor.

Any suggestions?
When the manufacturers claim "4 weeks battery life" they mean 4 weeks if reading only 30 minutes per day. But how many would bother to buy an e-reader if they only read 30 minutes per day? In real life no e-reader will get anywhere close to 4 weeks battery life.
