I typically read 1, 2 or 3 hours a day. I'd hate to try to guess which is more common for me. I read when I feel like it.
I charge my Paperwhite every Saturday. It's usually about 80% to 85% full, or seems t be going by the gauge. It's hard to really be sure from that visual gauge.
I have 2 Paperwhites and a Voyage and I usually read on the Voyage, which doesn't get as good battery life. It's sometimes down to as low as 70% or 75%. I have noticed that when I'm not using one of these things it goes down more than half as much in that week as it does when I'm using it. I do leave Wifi on all the time so that probably accounts for it.
These things get such good battery life that I long ago decided simply not to care. I sold my first Kindle, a Kindle 3, to a friend, who's still using it and it still gets about the same battery life it always did. I gave my Kindle Touch to another friend and she says the battery is still as good as new on it. These things hold up.
I have a bunch of neighbors with Kindles, some several years old and they're all in good shape. Again, I just don't see anything to worry about.
