If the remaining battery amount is displayed accurately and reliably, then I don't need to worry about it. Nobody reads for 14 hours without taking a break, and during a break you can easily plug in the reader to charge.

I hate to be the exception to the rule you just stated Braid. I frequently read for 14 or more hours with minimal bathroom breaks. While I do read with my tablet plugged in when it runs out of power, it is a valid question I'm asking.
I see all the ads for how kindle and other eink devices have much longer battery lives than my Samsung tablet is supposed to have yet when I go to look it up I find the time is referred to in days or weeks and not in actual reading numbers. I just want to know how long I could expect a kindle or other eink device to work if I was away from a charging source in terms of reading hours.
