If giving up 10% battery life now means I don't have to lose +50% over 4-5 years then it's not a nuisance, not unless I have to do it manually, which is why I'd like this a seemless feature. It'll be good for my piece of mind, good for my wallet and good for the environment. I don't know if Kobo does this and I can't rely on corporations to do this out of the kindness of their hearts because they have no incentive to do it unless they're promoting it as a feature or the backlash for short-lived batteries would be disastrous for business like it would be in the case of electric cars.

By reserve power I meant the capacity hidden from the user or not charged. Like 0-100% actually being 5-95%. It might not be the correct term if you want to be pedantic but I thought it'd get the point across.
