With the antenna/radio/cell turned off, my Kindle battery is lasting 4-6 days. I can't tell you how many hours I read ... or even, how many page turns I make. I normally keep the Kindle on font size 2, so there's a lot of text on each screen before I need to hit the "next page" button.
As I've mentioned before, I know I could have been happy with the Sony, though the prices for recent releases are *so* much higher that I figure after I've bought 15-20 books, I will have recovered the $100 difference between the Sony and the Kindle. The only real downside to the Kindle is that you *cannot* buy books with DRM protection from anyone except Amazon.
