So I guess the battery is not the thing you have to emphasize (at least for such devices).

I do use my ereader way longer and with more intensity than I use my phone... My phone can do 2 days without charging, my ereader 2 weeks. (H2O) These numbers are from our vacation (car + tent), where I had to charge my phone every day while on the road (a bit more use than standard as I sometimes used it to make pictures) while I used my ereader every single minute we were sitting still (reading in the morning during breakfast, reading in the morning while packing, reading in the evening after putting the tent up, reading in the evening during dinner and reading in the evening before sleeping). With the added drain of using a black background during the bedtime reading, which takes more energy to refresh.
For me, the lower capacity of the battery on the One doesn't really matter, as I don't intend to take it with me on extended trips without any power options (and in that case, I'd take a solar charger with me anyway).
