Dont forget battery life is based on a min
Don't forget battery life is based on a minimal amount of reading, Kobo basis it on 25 mins of reading daily. That's not real world reading either, I start to read and wow its like 2 hours past bedtime when I realize I should be asleep. and that's way more then 25 mins. Regardless Its hard to understand how these tests were done, I mean to page turn that many times would mean a long time reading. And if you read with the lighting on the unit well battery life will be depleted that much faster, same if you leave wifi on, or if you turn the unit off or sleep it. I think though that real world specs are hard to come by and for that reason alone, the E-Readers should be based on quality of text/fonts, screen size, flexibility of Book formats etc and not on battery life or page turns. Everyone reads differently, so battery life will vary dramatically in real world situations and not in who gives the best spiel on their Products battery life or page turns. Regardless if you are a hard core Kobo OR Kindle supporter or any other Reader out there!
