The battery life for the Libra H2O will be shorter than for the Clara HD for the simple reason it as a smaller battery. They are 1200mAh and 1500mAh respectively. That means the Libra H2O would have 20% runtime less assuming everything else was equal.

But, 32 hours of reading for these sort of devices is excellent. When Kobo claimed an actual runtime rather than "weeks", they used 30 minutes per day. And that is how Amazon still calculate the runtime for Kindles. 32 hours works out as over 60 days. That is what Kobo claimed for the Touch and Glo.
