I don't know how one can know yet how long the battery will last in the Oasis before it won't hold a good charge anymore. At least not until at least a year out I would think? Once they are past the warranty. While in it, there shouldn't be any worry as they will replace it.
As someone that is a heavy reader, daily for hours, I am not at all concerned. I base this on the track record with the other kindle devices I have had over the years and also with the great customer service they usually provide.
Anyone is free to worry about such things though, I don't. I'll just use my Oasis every day. If I have any issues, I'll ring up kindle support. I don't expect any issue, but one never knows.
I am totally bad at math and I admit I never can understand all this stuff I am suppose to do with batteries, or not suppose to do. I used to be a bit more obsessed with batteries for that reason. Reading all these things. But now that I have many different devices with batteries, I am only 2 years in with a smartphone, I stopped worrying about it to much. I think the only thing that I do kind of try to follow is not running batteries all the way down. Although my tablets now keep running down all the time as I don't use them often and I keep forgetting to charge them. My nexus especially as it just shuts down and I have to do some fancy button work to get it into boot thingie or some such thing.
So by using the Oasis as its been pretty much designed, topping the device off here and there so it never really runs out, that actually is a good way of using it then I gather. Mine has never gone down all the way and it stays pretty much above 40-60% all the time.
