Amazon claim a battery life of 28h (8 weeks at 30m/day) for the Oasis. Do you think you're getting less than that from it?

I seem to be hanging around about 22h at the moment, but since I get at least 10MiB of new ebooks that need indexing every week, automatically, and since I read fast and turn pages correspondingly rapidly, this is not terribly surprising. It certainly doesn't tie me to a power point, but it does mean that if I'm going away somewhere I do still need to take the power adapter, which Amazon's marketing implies is not true. (Maybe it isn't, if you hardly read at all, but as others have noted here, if you hardly read at all you're not going to be in the market for an Oasis unless you are stinking rich.)
