So if it drains the battery twice as fast and Kobo claims that you get 2 months between charges, using it for 30min/day, running Nickel. Then you would have to charge it once a month, if running KOReader. I could live with that. I read a lot and charge my Aura HD about once a week. It is easy to always have it ready to read. Compared with my Tablet that almost always needs to be charged if I plan to make any use of it, and then it can only be used for a few hours before it needs charging.

I also picked up a Samsung 2.0A "Travel Adapter" that came with a 5 foot charging/data USB cord. This makes it easy to charge while reading, if I should let it get lower than I like. KOReader now has a "+" added to the charge percentage displayed, when it is charging, so I can tell that it is charging.

Having to charge once a week, perhaps while reading, is no hardship and being able to go two weeks between charges, instead of just one week, would not be worth much to me. (Certainly nor enough to put up with Nickel.)

Luck;
Ken
