I agree with you that without "between page turn suspend" the battery life won't be extended by very much during normal reading. I don't see how iRex is ever going to get to Karel's "battery life will effectively be several days" target. I guess they are assuming 1-2 hours per day reading.
Yeah, it does sound different than how they original explained it. We'll have to wait until it's released to see how it really works.

Edit: I wonder if the first "minutes" above was a typo and is supposed to be "seconds"? I've posted on their forum to see if that's the case.
