The good news is that going from 30 minutes reading per day to 1 hour reading per day will only shorten battery charge life a little.

The bad news is that going from 1 hour reading per day to 30 minutes per day only increases battery charge life a little. Amazon was not justified in claiming 2 months on that basis.

But, since the K3 can go 1 month at 1 hour per day, the new smallest Kindle can probably go 2 weeks at 1 hour per day. So via canceling errors, your estimate is probably good.
Umm ok. All that long winded explanation and a link to detailed explanation on battery life and in the end you say "your estimate is probably good". I'm not looking for a religious debate on battery life, I meant to say that if it lasts 2 weeks (or 10 days even) at my reading frequency it's good enough for me.
