I wish I knew what that meant.
I did a quick check, and the Deathstalker books come in at about 550 pages each in paper. That's substantially longer than what I would have characterized as an "average" book. Of course "average" only has any meaning in the context of the "How many books do you read a year" question. I was figuring about 350 pages as an "average" book. So 4 novels each two weeks would be about 1400 paper pages, which would be 3054 Kobo page turns according to Bismar's settings.
Personally, I know I usually read at about 400-450 wpm, and that translates to just under a paper page a minute for most paperback novels. So three "Deathstalker" novels which would be 1650 paper pages and about 3600 page turns ( ~ 1 charge cycle) on the Kobo would translate to about 27 hours of reading for me. And my 425 wpm pace is more than 2 times that of most readers.
For all I know Bismar may read at twice my speed, so he's only getting 12 hours of reading out of a single charge, and he's sitting on a beach all day catching some sun while he catches up on his reading, so 3000 pages turns a charge could be a real problem.
But I think it's going to take me a couple of weeks to find 27 hours to get through 3 Deathstalker books (although I might be tempted to skim them since I've already read them all), so, for me a least, 3000 page turns isn't going to be an issue. This is clearly a YMMV thing, though.
