That is true for those who read at the Amazon recommended 10 or under light level. Anything above that will be draining the battery faster. There is a reason why they recommend 10 or under light level. It fits what they are advertising but many readers are going above 10. The reviews support that too. I think the average Oasis 2 user above light level 10 is anywhere from 1-5 days depending on how long they read and how much higher the light level is. It does vary but not a whole lot.
