is the battery life of the Touch ridiculous or reading PDFs/image heavy documents in a e-reader ridiculous?
Let's recap E Ink tech: it only wastes power on "page turns", not to maintain them. Page turns here means any change to the screen: page turns, obviously, but also the menu showing up and panning and scrolling around a PDF/image. E Ink is meant for static content: you read a page for 1 minute, then do a screen refresh. Constrast this to LCD where the screen refreshes 60 times a second. Can you see where the power saving comes from?
So, if your reading usually involves panning around PDFs and comics, you're doing several "page turns" per second, even though it's the same "page" you're reading.
so, give me plain rich textual fiction to me...
