You can leave the same page up all day and not use power. It is when you turn pages or play music or scroll thru your library that you draw power.

HOWEVER... the biggest thing I have heard from MobileRead Forum people is:
MAKE THE BATTERY REPLACIBLE! The EZ Reader HAS a rather EASY one screw replacible battery. The battery is teeny and can be carried anywhere. Our website will sell spare batteries. There is no reason you cannot carry a spare battery if you are at all worried about having enough power.

Since your battery is user replaceable, couldn't you ship them out of China without the battery installed and let the user install it?
