Battery life will *likely* not be what you're used to, due to the onboard light setup. Most of us consider it worth it, but anyone who has used a non lit reader will be able to tell the difference. Amazon suggests you'll get approximate 28 hours of usage (not standby time) with wifi off and light at level 10. For some, level 10 is perfect, others may set it higher or lower. (I personally leave wifi off for the most part, but daytime usage is around level 14-15 in brightness, and therefore my battery doesn't last as long.)

Light readers--an hour or so a day--may go several weeks without charging. Heavy readers may find they have to charge once or twice a week. I generally get 2-4 days per charge, reading several hours a day, which is very short compared to the K2 and Touch I used similarly.

That's really my main issue with the device--but I love mine, and do still recommend it to most people.
