FWIW I've just done a battery test with the following results:
I let the battery run down completely, then charged it fully, then used the Glo until the battery ran down again and it shut down.
From full charge to shut down took 6 days and 4 hours, with the unit powered off overnight and put to sleep between reading sessions during the day. WiFi was off all the time. Screen light always on while reading, at probably the 80% mark.
During that time I did the following:
- Desktop sync three times, to get new books
- Three or four font size changes, and three or four margin changes
- Maybe half-a-dozen dictionary look-ups
- Read almost 23 hours
That seems to me to be reasonably close to the Glo technical spec of 70 hours continuous use, with the light at around 20%.
I know this was not a statistically rigorous test, but it might be of interest to other users.
