I always leave the Wifi on on my Voyage. It's a 3G model and that's always on if I'm not near Wifi, although more often than not when I'm away from home I don't take the Voyage with me unless I'll be gone a while.

I also don't use the automatic light. I keep that feature turned off and my light is always set somewhere between 11 and 13.

I've never checked how many hours I get but I typically read 2 or 3 hours a day, often more, and I charge the device on Saturday and usually another time during the week.

It almost never gets down as low as 75% full. Of course the gauge is hard to judge that by but I'm very sure it's never gotten close to half full. When I say 75% I'm really just guessing but I think I'm being conservative. It could be as high as 80% when I charge it. I'm just not sure.

Anyway I think that's pretty much in line with Amazon's predictions. Of course battery indicators on small devices are notoriously inaccurate so who knows. But I am sure that I'm happy enough with it's battery life.

On a related topic, My Kobo Aura seems to be staying at 100% all the time recently. I just finished a book and I don't think I charged it during the reading of that book and it never got below 100%. That's never happened before. It's always gotten reasonably good battery life but nothing like this. I'm guessing the battery indicator has somehow failed. Any thoughts on this?

[Edit] I should add that I did reboot it a couple of times to see if that made any difference. It didn't.[/Edit]
