That's probably where we differ. It's not like my needs have to be the same as yours.
If I know I am sitting for a period of time reading, there's probably an outlet nearby. Even on an airplane, I can plug in and not worry about my battery life. The only time I ever need battery power is when I need to use it for a short period of time which usually lasts considerably shorter than 2.5 hours. But the ability to multi-task, decide which format I want to read, and access network connections in my opinion is worth a lot more.
