My reading habits are the worst for e-readers. I get multiple subscriptions - two daily newspapers - so I leave 3g on all the time.
I read with the light at about 14.
And, reading newspapers, I browse articles a lot, which hurts battery life.
Long story short, I have to recharge my PW every other day.
I understand how Amazon computes battery life, but the claims are nevertheless BS, and certainly misleading.

Anyhow, battery life on my iPad mini is very similar. Compare the advertising. Apple says 10 hours. Amazon says 8 weeks. But, somehow, they are the same. Or almost. 12 hours vs. 10 hours.
