Would you please help a fellow member with poor math skills? What is a rough rock bottom battery life expectancy (for the smaller battery of the Oasis) using it for six hours of reading a day without the cover.
Who says people are running "the battery right down?"
That is the point you refuse to grasp: with a larger battery, who cares? You can go for long periods between charges, and still not abuse the battery.
The Oasis is going to be a great device for some people; for some it won't. Why not just present the numbers so people can make up their own mind?

500 charge cycles. 500 days then it starts to decrease. Easy as easy.
I do grasp the point. The point is that there is an ideal way to use the battery to get the maxiimum life out of it - especially if you are using the battery to its projected life i.e. A very heavy user. Going for long periods between charges is irrelevant - that's personal choice. If you go a long period then the battery must be being run down and not being optimally used.
