it could be more like 6 weeks with wi-fi off and maybe 14 days with wi-fi on if books were only read as 2 pages on the screen at the same time.
I'm afraid your logic escapes me.

If you display two pages on the screen at once, in landscape orientation, then generally speaking you'll be seeing less text than if you were viewing a single page in portrait orientation. That's because there is more white space around two pages than around one. Viewing double pages will therefore result in more page turns, and a shorter battery life.

Can you explain how you think it would actually extend battery life?
