When Amazon releases the Kindle Touch later this year, I fully expect a 4 month battery life (15 min/day = 30 hours)
I think it would be much more useful to give the % charge lost per hour of reading time and the percentage lost per hour of standby time with and without wifi.

That way we can calculate the number of DAYS we can get out of the thing. For example, I can get 2-3 days of heavy reading from the nook before needing to charge it when the "spec" says 10 days. It is rare for me to read as little as 1/2 hour a day.
