But since people likely to spend $290+ on an ereader are most likely to be the avid readers ..... 30 minutes winds up being a ridiculous comparison time frame! I only get 3-4 days of "full weekend days" reading on my Voyage too. Which is to say ... I do laundry, I eat, I walk the dog, but there are a lot of hours of reading on those days. Sounds like the Oasis is not noticeably different -- though they claim an hour or two more (spread out over their silly 30-minutes a day rate).

Yep ... I'm a binge reader
On days I work 12 hour shifts I can only read when I'm eating - arrgh! Depending on my days off and how busy I am I might only get 1 hour, or I might get 4 hours of reading in. If it's a really great book I might just say heck with it and read all day in between chores and buy the next book in the series and continue. Right now I'm in a Masters class - research study (busy work research - yuk!) so I will be having to write monster papers too. Thus my reading might have to decrease some. Then in September-ish I will be in my practicum and I probably won't do any reading for 5 weeks since I have to work full time and get 150 hours in with a director at work (super yuk for being at work 7 days a week- 3 - 12hr shifts and 4 - 8 hr shifts each week - the actual time with the director will be great if I can keep my eyeballs open).
