I'm thinking your pessimistic side is the most likely the correct way of thing.

My H2O has very good battery life while giving me the typesetting features that do not need anything special done. There is no reason Amazon could not have done the same thing. It would have been a good thing if Amazon put in a stronger battery in the PW3.
