Speculating about battery consumption ...

In 2010 I bought a Pocketbook 360 which, as others have already said, had the asymmetric page turn buttons plus an accelerometer so the text was always the right way up when you swapped hands. I thought it was cool.

Unfortunately my experience was that having the accelerometer enabled made the battery drain much faster - to the point where I was obsessively rechecking the battery level - not ideal when trying to enjoy a book. In the end I had to disable the accelerometer feature for peace of mind.

Has power management technology improved a lot in the last six years? If not the 250mAh for the case-less Oasis doesn't sound like much battery life.
