Stated on the webpage at Argos. When I checked Kobo, the 70 hours is continuous with the light on... Well, I'll see how I get on. As it happens, I'm not fussed about the light; I have a clip-on. Besides, I have a tendency to fall asleep when reading in bed!

Unless you tried downloading it through the browser? Google Chrome and Firefox can both view PDF natively, now, so you'd have to specifically choose to "save as".

I believe several ereader apps can integrate directly with Dropbox, too. It should (again) locally store the file, and update when necessary, just like the desktop client.
Because I ran out of (free) space in DropBox, I moved my PDFs to Google Drive (too many large RPG rule books). Yes, I think that's what FireFox and Chrome are doing - the PDF is being viewed natively in the browser not downloaded and stored locally. When I click on the link, I don't get the option to 'save as'; it automatically opens in the browser.

Unfortunately, FBReader is linked to Dropbox not Google.
