Hmmmmm. Good point there. On weekends when I'm in a good book, I might read from noon to 11:00. Sometimes that's 20% of the Voyage's battery (seems to use more battery with this latest firmware version, grrr). I'm turning pages pretty rapidly, reading about a book per day (on weekends), at a not very small font ( my eyes are aging too). I wonder if I would be forced to go get the Oasis cover at hour 7 or so.
It *might* still be worth it, to have 7 hours of ergonomically beneficial reading (I'm only 59, but meds are aging me). We'll see. With the shipping delay, I'm going to wait a skosh before I order anyway. Since I can't get it soon, no matter what.
