I've been using a Sony UX-50 with MobiPocket Reader for nearly 4 years now and have read quite a number of books on it. I read about 1/2-1hr per day practically every day. I've found the battery life to be adequate (about 3 hours these days, though a good bit longer when the battery was new) for normal use. I rarely reach the limit between chances to return it to the charge. It's only the occasional day of jury duty or when we loose power during a hurricane (stay away Ernesto!) that battery life becomes an issue. I then resort to paper books and, in the evenings, audiobooks in my Creative MuVo (12hrs+ per AAA battery) when I can't charge the UX-50. Screen size has never been an issue. The fact that it is pocketable makes it far more usefull to me than anything with a larger screen.
