I charge my Paperwhite every Saturday so I never have to care about the battery. From one Saturday to the next it rarely goes below about 60% judging from the icon, and most often it's more like 80% or more.

I think one of the reasons they do it this way is because the battery gauges on inexpensive devices are very unreliable and putting a percentage in the gauge would be misleading and make it's inaccuracy more obvious and probably create resentment in customers.
