I suppose its the same as in Nickel, but counting the days, weeks etc. is not very accurate since it depends on the hours of actual reading.
So I tried an other way.
I asked tshering in his
KSM thread for a way to count the time I read and he was kind enough to give me a command to add to my power-off script to measure the uptime of the reader.
It would be nice if someone with bash knowledge could improve it to give us somehow the total time, since now I have to make the counting manually, and to format it in a more readable way e.g.:
- uptime: 0:00:14:32 (total 0:02:42:56)
- idle: 0:00:13:32 (total 0:02:24:31)
- battery: 68%
but even in its current form is working better than anything else.
My only problem is that I have to connect the reader to the PC sometimes (for copying books or whatever) and so it gets charged and the counting after that it doesn't represent "one charge" anymore.
The only time I can check it is when I'm on vacations, where I really use the battery almost to the end...
