To use that metric as a major issue in a review of modern e-ink readers does not reflect what actually matters to users. Display, usability, ecosystem (for some) - these are the core issues.

I don't disagree with you that it hardly matters if you have to recharge after 3, 3.5 or 4 weeks of use. It sounds reasonable (to me) and probably does suit most users but isn't very objective as we didn't (or at least I didn't) how how many hours (or page turns) one fully charged battery really lasts.
And frankly, I was a bit disapointed when I saw the test results as I expected overall better results.
Finally we have some hard(er) data instead of an impression or opinion about the battery life and other aspects of the device. I'm not implying that impressions or opinions are wrong or unreliable but they are more complicated to judge than fact based data. The importance or relevance of the data is totally jugded by the user. You and I will judge the importance of some of the tested aspects differently and both end up with a (different?) device that suits our personal needs.
