So Sony's are exceptional and I don't think you're going to find anything to compare to them. You might be able to find a Sony PRS-3 with the lighted case, but it's not the same as a front-lit screen.

That said, I've got a used PocketBook PB615 ("Basic Lux," but the Russian version without WiFi) and the battery is extremely good on that device. It can go uncharged for months and the battery hardly drops. On the other extreme, I bought a used PocketBook Touch Lux 3 and (even though I replaced the battery) it fails regularly over night. And everything I've seen on the TL5 hasn't impressed me too much, especially the 8 LEDs instead of 9. I'm still looking at a Basic Lux 2 however, it has a front light but without touch screen.

My Tolinos (especially the older, pre-Kobo (near) hardware clones) have good battery life (none were bought new). The (near) Clara clone (Shine 3) has the shortest battery life of the crowd.

Not much help. Maybe the PocketBook Basic Lux 2 would have a better battery life.

I'm guessing others, who know more, will chime in.

Thanks for the response, I usually don't buy second hand because the place I live it's not second handed friendly, mostly with imported products, the transport cost more than the product, so if it doesn't have prime, it's a no no for me.

I found a new PB basic lux 2 really affordable, but as I have returned everything every stuff related with the other model, and the brand have left a really bad taste in my mouth, I don't want to buy another one so recently.

So the Clara HD its not a good option either, what a bummer.

So if battery life on modern devices are no good, what a bummer, what type of OS they put on those devices? windows?

DNSB: The ereader with the best battery life will be released within two weeks of you purchasing an ereader.

Please don't remind me of the errors of my life.

ottischwenk: Don't you have any sockets at home?
Somewhere I read something of 8 weeks with half an hour of reading a day (28 hours) and this should reach all devices.

I have more than one but not in place accesibles to me.
