Re-read what's been written... No one said anything about leaving it on 24 (or even 12) hours a day. Besides, there's no point in sparing the battery from what it was made for (i.e. discharging). Otherwise we'd all be leaving our devices plugged in 24/7

There are aspects of Sony i prefer too, but for different usage patterns. I use Sony for casual fiction reading and holidays, simply because i don't have to worry about recharging it for a month at a time and its much more robust than iLiad (so i can basically treat it like any other hard cover or paperback). Also, it's smaller, so it fits pockets better
