As an update I am now just over 2 weeks in since the last charge, and the charge level is hovering in the upper 50's. That is with probably averaging close to 2hrs a day of reading over that period of time and having read most of a 720 page book (about 600 of those pages since the charge) and now most of the way through a 300 page book (about 100 pages left).
So unless the charge craps out tomorrow, I am quite thrilled with it. This is what I was looking for in moving to an ebook reader from a tablet for battery life.
That said I still have a fair amount of "charge" anxiety and probably will until I get at least one more "full life" charge cycle out of it before I can kind of just relax and accept that the battery is lasting the way it should.
My biggest anxiety is, what happens if I plug it in to my computer to transfer some stuff? Is it going to suddenly decide it has 0 battery life like it did the first time I plugged it in after a week of use? Is it going to be fine, but then it'll start discharging rapidly? Would a reboot right after plugging it in make everything fine?
