The battery life has dropped from 8 weeks at ½ hour of reading per day to 6 weeks at ½ hour of reading per day. That is due to the additional energy required for the higher resolution screen and the power to render the higher resolution of text."
- review by Desert Rat: "BATTERY: The battery of the 2013 and 2014 Paperwhites are rated a third larger than the new model. And it is noticeable! When operating simultaneously, the new PW battery drains much faster. It is currently rated at 6 weeks of ½ hour average daily usage versus 8 weeks for the older models. That specification translates to 21 hours of use versus 28 hours of use for the older models." |
Some one else said that the battery life was about 10 hours. I mentioned that on another thread got Jumped
for post this information! Battery Life is Real important to me & I sure others. Being disabled I Read a LOT!!
Another reason people may be interested in the PW2 over the PW3....
