That's 25,000 hours of reading time! ~ 7 years with 10 hours per day!

Sure, I get it, the thing is this is not just an ereader and if you like playing a few games now and then, use the notes application actively or use the WIFI/Bluetooth regularly, you'll find your battery shrinks rapidly. Of course you may not use those features at all, so you'll get seven years. I put a massive battey inside my Kobo Mini when I converted it to a flight computer, wired in a GPS etc. and the battery life as an eReader for that device is literallly years now, but as a flight computer, hours. (It also got a lot thicker, I had to 3D print a new case for it!) We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, for me, it is a poor design choice with the Note Air that ruins an innovative device which otherwise would be a winner IMHO

Yes, I had seen that before I wrote the original post. eInk claim a huge improvement in contrast and that doesn't seem to show obviously in the video. Maybe in real life it looks much better, after the processing through Youtube it might lose a lot of the contrast as well If anyone has pictures.. would love to see them. We need a 'deep guide' on screen quality!
