I don't know if it's just me but I don't find the battery lacking at all. It lasts quite awhile before getting low. I've not properly timed it but I use it for so much more than reading. That said I'm quite used to plugging my blackberry in every night so it's nothing new.

Kobo wifi and its other sink bretheren don't use as much power as an LCD screen because it only uses battery power when changing pages. The vox's backlight and background programs make that impossible.
