Is this normal? My Aura was better (several weeks of autonomy) and now I'm a little disappointed.
Kobo's claim of "Weeks of battery life" is based on 30 minutes reading per day. At one time they claimed 60 days for some devices (including the original Aura) and later 30 days for others. At 30 minutes per day, that is 30 and 15 hours of reading. Which means that if you read for 4 hours per day, you would get 8.5 or 3.75 days of reading.

The battery life in the current devices is not as good as in the older devices. So, the lower of the above numbers is probably the one to use. Which puts your "4 or 5 hours a day" in "a few days" as pretty much the expected runtime.
