You mean http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Home.htm? If so, it has:

- Glo: 70 hours
- Touch: 5040 hours
- Aura: 1440 hours
- Aura HD: 1440 hours

Kobo state the 70 hours figure, but the others are figments of someone's imagination. Kobo claim 1 month depending on use. The use the seem to use is 30 minutes of reading per day. So that works out to about 15 hours. Kobo claim the same for the Glo. Personally, I have had well over 20 hours from a charge from both of them.
