Sounds like there is a bit of variance in actual battery capacities then, or maybe different firmware versions. Too bad that it isn't really possible to get battery diagnostics on kindles, while I can do so with my android eink devices.

Maybe amazon is getting away with it based on vague advertised claims, with no reviewers actually testing battery life systematically.
Yeah, I'm getting nowhere near 60 hours of reading on my PW3. I don't think I'm even getting 20 hours.

Mind, I get around 16-17 hours of onscreen time on the iPad 5th gen which is extremely good for a tablet. That's roughly 3-5 books for me depending on length.
