Depends on the reading time of course.
I read usually between 2 and 5 hours per day. I've charged my PW1 about twice per week. So I'd assume about 12 hours of pure reading time on PW1, with light always on between 5% and 20% (most of the time 10% or less).
If you had to charge your PW1 almost very day, I'd guess:
a.) Reading time >>8 hours per day.
b.) Light very bright.
c.) Even considering a.) and b.), battery duration seems awfully low.
I definitely keep my light too bright, but it is more comfortable that way and am reading probably 6 hours per day - but, you're right - the battery wasn't all that good. Of course I never noticed it until I got the new one.

One thing, I camp a lot and it was often charged through the 12 volt system. I wonder if that affected the battery! I'll find out in Jan when I go camping again.
