So my battery gives me about 1500-1700 page turns with no backlight and about 1000-1200 with backlight on level 9. I read about 2 pages a minute and so it gives me about 13 hrs of reading(or about 8 with backlight).
I'm just not sure whether it is normal and thus try not to miss any statistics from other users. I didn't mean to be rude or aggressive while asking you.
Oh yes, this is all with WiFi off, of course. With WiFi on everything runs about three times faster, IIRC.
I may be able to get an approximation using that method, but it wouldn't be accurate at all. As I said, I frequently change the font size while reading, depending on how tired my eyes are, and whether or not I'm wearing my glasses. The font size swings from 6 to 10 (If I'm really tired, or it's a bad allergy day, it can go higher than 10, but that doesn't happen often. I've also gone smaller, but not very often.). I also change the boldness setting depending on how my eyes feel, which will also change the number of locations per page. A quick test shows that the number of locations per page varies from 8 for font size 6 to 3 for font size 10, all on boldness 4.

I'll try to remember note the location numbers at the start and end of my next reading session.
