I've read with many Readers with different eInk scree types and resolutions without a front light. I don't see why you'd need to always have the front light on with your H2O Do you keep the light in your place set that low?

The Oasis hibernates. It's practically the same as turning it off. I charge my hibernating Oasis once every 4-5 months, and the battery has been far from empty when I charge it.
As to the always using the frontlight, I too have it always on, because I don't like unlit Carta screens. They look ugly to me, yellowish gray. I want my screen to be more white than that. Plus, I do have all my room lighting set quite low, as I cannot stand bright light.
