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.
Didn't know ot was actually smaller.

I thought it was because there are more lights and the screen is bigger.

Even so, I'm not really complaining. Just comparing.

I expect at least 3 to 4 weeks and 40h of reading time, and I'm close to that. Not having to charge every other day already is a massive plus on these days
