I'm sure many people will disagree, as preferences differ.  |
I'm with you. I don't think I've had a single reader EVER that lasted for more than 2 weeks and honestly, I'm not sure I've had that! I'm delighted if I only have to charge once weekly, but that is pretty rare.
So I'd take better performance over battery, because as much as I read, battery life is not relevant. This is not to say that I wouldn't love it if my reader batteries DID last over a week, but it just doesn't happen here and I've given up expecting it to.
