Just for fun, I wanted to see how many pages I could read on my Kindle before the power got real low. Since I'm nervous about getting too low on power, I read until it got to 1/4th.

Here's how it went:

Approximate use of WiFi during the experiment - 10 minutes
Approximate use of 3G during the experiment - 10 minutes
Kindle was in lighted cover, light use - none
Number of days Kindle used - Eight
Number of pages read (not Kindle page turns) - 1,610
Dictionary and menu randomly checked throughout the experiment.

The average number of Kindle page turns per book page was about seven, so I think that means I got 11,270 Kindle page turns.
