And when taking a trip, I would worry a lot more about relying on a tablet to read on a long flight with layovers/delays.

My Fire tablet is turned completely off most of the time, so its battery holds pretty well for the short spaces of time I use it. But my kids have Fire tablets also and they're either constantly plugged in, or the battery is dead. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground.
