It's convenient enough to do that that I have only run out of device power when actually *trying* to: normally, it never gets below about 40%, and even that requires a fairly epic reading session. The case recharges it without my even noticing.
What I was saying is that the battery inside the Oasis will need more charging than the battery inside the PW or Voyage. More charging means less battery life overall. If I am not mistaken, I'm thinking it could be 1/2 as less.

I can say that my Oasis is tied to a wall socket no more often than my PW1 was, perhaps a little less often -- there's not much in it. (And it really is much more comfortable to hold!)
But the battery inside the Oasis is charged more via the USB port and the case.
