I just got my KA1 last week and here are my battery observations so far:
  • First charge. Got about 23 hours of reading time over one week, got down to 46%, at which point I charged it.
  • Second charge. Almost 3 days so far, about 9 hours of reading, 72% left.

Based on that I would assume that the 30 days also accounts for the ~700 hours of sleep time as opposed to binge reading.

So it seems that the discharge pace on the second charge is a little faster unless the battery discharge slows down in the next few days. I'm on 4.2.8110, and that's the only firmware version I had (I don't count what came on it as it was replaced by 4.2.8110 as part of the initial setup).
