So, yes, I can live with 5-7 days reading time, but it still is true, battery last about half of H2O's one.
It's not just "haters", it is a hard fact. Different things is, does it impacts you too much, or you can accept it and use device with more frequent charging.

Is this using Kobo software or KoReader? You say in previous post that you are a KoReader user so I assume your battery life experience is with that software rather than Kobo's software?
I certainly agree that the battery life on KA1 is not as good as it is on H20 or even the HD (I have all three of them) but I regularly get 2 weeks of usage out of my KA1 before I have to recharge it, from memory the HD and H2O both generally lasted for 3+ weeks between charges (I rarely use them anymore). I guess it depends on how much reading you do each day and how much you use the front lighting and what brightness setting you use it at as well as the natural light on the KA1 etc. As you say, however long the battery lasts if it meets your needs then it doesn't really matter how many days/weeks it lasts.
