The way that *real people* are using this (if they read without the cover) is that they are reading on it for a few hours (without the cover) and then putting it in the cover for 30 minutes or so. Putting it in the cover charges it, and from what Atunah has said, she is only charging the whole package (including cover) every few days.

For me, I use mine with the cover, and charge it about once every 10 days--about as often as I do my Voyage.
