I wonder how the battery life of the competition (Sony, Amazon) etc compares.

It's not an exaggerated claim. Given the typical use pattern of an average reader, (I'm not one as I read fast and read for long periods each day.) the battery will last up to two weeks. HOWEVER, if one flips back and forth rapidly, or reads many-many pages per day, the battery life for a given charge shortens dramatically.
And the Kindle has its own problem. Can you say, "Man! That Whispernet *REALLY* sucks down the power!"???
