Unfortunately I can not trust iRex with that. I saw the same promises from iRex for the iLiad, and even the claimed 15h battery life were/are a bit less for a device that takes nearly a minute to boot up.
If the DR had 12-15h of battery power out of the box, I could live with that for now and hope for later firmware revisions to improve that, but 3-4 h of usage is a joke to me. Serious. My IBM tablet PC can be used for about 6-7 h if I only use it for reading and scribbling PDF with minimum back-light. Sure, it is heavier and a bit bigger and no e-ink, but... ?!
