I have to say that the batteries seem to last for ages.

I still have a Kindle DX and DXG here and the batteries are still running without noticeable difference from when new.

In fact, the DXG is what my wife is using now, since the second Kobo broke. It had not been used or charged for at least a year, more likely closer to two, and it was completely dead. It took about 30 minutes to wake up, but it has been running for about a week now and the battery icon shows somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 charge left.
