I've been reading on e-readers since 2007-2008, and 2011-today, and in all that time, I've only seen a low battery warning once, and that's because I pushed the KPW to show it. Even when showing the low battery warning at 15%, I'm sure can finish at least another 150 pages or so.
Before that happens however, the Kindle has been partially or even fully recharged, either to me just putting it on the charger on a whim, or because I connect it to the computer to upload some books, and then just leave it there until I turn off the computer.
I can understand that one would like a percentage-based battery indicator on a phone or a tablet, and on the Kindle because one is used to it, but on an e-reading device it's unnecessary, except if you're hell-bent on driving the device down to 0%. (This is something you shouldn't actually do with a Li-Ion battery. It is much better to just recharge it at the earliest opportunity.)
