I am jusr done testing how long the battery will last reading. Using
The Lord of the Rings with 1344 epub page and with a fontsize approximately good to read for most people with 21 lines per screen and about 3 screens per page. First i fastforwarded through the whole book back and forth holding down the sidebutton. It took 12 minutes forward and 13 backwards. The Odyssey struggles at page breaks and appears to render the next page on the fly. The next and last step in my test was to go slow from page 1 to 1344 going one screen at a time with full refresh (flashing). Afte that was all done I checked the battery meter (I know those things are not always reliable).I still had 8 of 10 bars left so still at least 75% full. Sure it will eat up more battery a you canot read that fast and I doubt anyone would read lotr all in one session without breaks and putting reader to sleep. You do the math how much on one charge.
