How about an example. I believe I've read reports that people charge there their Paperwhites every two weeks.
So after three years, they have gone through:
Paperwhite: 79 cycles (and a charge will last 13.4 days)
Oasis: 543 cycles (and a charge will last 1.7 days)
And I'm not considering loss of capacity due to aging alone. Doing a quick google I see this :

... And batteries degrade even if you don't use them. According to battery-testing firm Cadex Electronics, a fully charged lithium-ion battery will lose about 20 percent of its capacity after a year of typical storage. Increase the temperature to just above 100 degrees Fahrenheitas in a hot attic, for exampleand that number is 35 percent. ...

I have doubts about the 20% number, but if I roughly apply it, that means that after three years, a charge for the Oasis would last 0.9 days (and this is just a rough guess, I think it would actually be much lower.)
