Woodstonian · 01-16-2013, 04:10 PM

Is there any evidence that battery life depends on the size of the book being read? I have an epub that is 2788 Kobo pages in length. It's actually 6 books in one epub. I've been reading through these books for the past couple of weeks, having spend 12.2 hours on it so far, 2857 page turns. I use a Glo Sleepcover so it sleeps when I'm not using it. Wifi is turned off. The battery has only been lasting 1 week.

I bought the Glo back when they first came out in Canada. Prior to reading this large book, I was getting about 3 weeks of normal usage between charges. Could the big book be causing this?

Once I'm finished the book I'm reading, I'll go back to a "normal" book and see what happens if there is no reason to believe to big books are a problem.
