It lasted until night on the 11th day. I don't know if 11 days is good or not, but there it is.

So, I charged the battery today, and I'll repeat the experiment the same, except I'll use power off rather than sleep to measure the difference. I hope it's the same, since I'd rather just use sleep.

Well, I ended my battery test experiment today, not because the battery was empty, but because I ran out of books. I figured if I was going to hook the reader up to my computer to buy a book, I may as well charge it.

Anyway, I was at 34 days and still had half a tank of battery left. I read about two hours a night and used power on/off each time. So, I would suspect it would go about 40 days on a charge.

That's plenty for me.
