Battery life shouldn't be a big issue with most eink readers today.Even my prs-t1 seems to last approximately a month per charge with 20+ books being read. My 350 slightly longer. Have had 3 Sony's 600/350/T1 and no returns.

I bought my mother a kindle keyoard and had to return it once. The keyboard is fading a bit on the current one, bt out of warentee I am sure. My mother loves her kindle.

But...... she left her kindle behind accidentally when she came to visit me for a few days and I lent her the 350. Not saying she liked it better as I do not know. She never brings her kindle now though.

I would recommend getting another device to supplement your existing one. Maybe secondhand or refurbished. It is not that hard to sell them if you are displeased.

PS the Sony line is not perfect, but pretty reliable and easier to organise your books on
