Let's use 500 charge cycles although it is likely to be greatly in excess of that.
Relevant fact A. 6 hours. 500 charge cycles. 3,000 hours, at 30 mins per day, 6,000 days. It's over16 YEARS!!!
Relevant fact B. If you read for 6 hours a day (greatly exceeding the design parameters and claims (non-Amazon) for the device) then you get 500 days. Should the battery ONLY give you 500 charge cycles, the battery will begin to dimish slowly over another 500 charge cycles.
So for A, let's say you'll get 10,000 days and then the battery ceases to hold a meningful charge. Well, who cares. It's a very long time.
So for B, you've still had exactly the same reading time out of the battery if you call its life two years. Therefore, if you read 6 hours a day every day then maybe you may, and I emphasise may, wish to consider a different device if you realistically consider your reading timeis that significant.
So there are facts. When these facts are applied to the Real World(tm) are they relevant. Application of relevancy will give you a rational answer and prevent pontless outrage.

For me, I'm not interested in "real world", I'm interested in how the device is going to work in conditions I use it in. I prefer to "plug in" my device less often, so to me, your facts look like they have some discrepancies, compared with this page (I'm looking at your 6 hour use scenario):

Since capacity diminishes starting with the first charge, if you are recharging more often because of a smaller battery, the capacity is going to decrease faster, so you are going to have to continuously charge more frequently, ... ?
IMO.
And I laugh at your "real world" case being 30 minutes a day.
