Kobo claims "up to 2 months of battery life". I can't see a qualifier for that, but for the H2O it is "Based on 30 minutes of reading a day with ComfortLight turned on or off, and Wi Fi turned off." So, that's about 30 hours. 15 hours seems a bit short unless you are a fast reader (page turns use power, the more page turns, the more power). Or something is blocking the sleep when you are away from it.

I should have asked at what point you are recharging. If you are recharging at 30%, then you are reasonably close to the spec. But, if you are recharging when it runs out, then your not as close.

It is a bit hard for me to comment on the battery usage. It is an unusual day if I don't plug the device in for a bit, plus I have WiFi on all the time. But, I do think that Kobo's estimate is on the high side.
