As for two weeks without, obviously this depends on number of page turns and how many hours a day you read. If you read on font level 1, your battery will last longer; I read on level 4, so it stands to reason my battery won't last 2 weeks. But even then, they must be estimating only a few hours of reading per day.

that makes a lot of sense. I know my cellular broadband can stuggle even to the point of heating up in finge areas. So that would indeed use a lot more power.
Now about the font affecting power, as I understand how eink works that makes no sense. Each cell needs to be fully polarized, twice, on each page turn so the amount of power is should be the same, yes? Or am I misunderstanding the way it works?
