I did one test where I read some of the time with the cover on and some with it off. I kept it in the cover when I wasn't reading so it would keep recharging from the cover. I got about twenty-four hours of reading time before I started getting low battery warnings. I'm happy enough with that.

All the testing I did was with wifi off and the light at 17. That matches my real-life use. My eyes seem to require a lot of light for reading and I sideload everything from Calibre and never use wifi.

The Oasis with the cover on is pretty light but still not quite light enough for me to hold in one hand for very long. With the cover on I tend to hold it like my other ereaders, kind of balanced against a pillow or chair arm or something for extra support.
