That isn't normal and I didn't see it on the page linked.
The page says:
"Using only 20% or 30% of the battery capacity before recharging will extend cycle life"

That translates as recharging to 70-80%

I get what you mean about the battery life/effort ratio, but the whole reason I bothered is because I like the Forma alot (except for the atrocious button)

and it seems like Kobo is not keen on making something like it (large capacity of storage but also light with a good battery) again for awhile, if at all.

I found a Forma with this capacity hard to get in Australia. I had to use a freight forwarder to even get them to send it to me.

I don't want a Sage because it is heavier, with a poor battery. So I want to my very-hard-to-get again Forma to last.

I don't think its too hard to avoid completely discharging and only a little hassle to avoid recharging entirely. I wonder if there are chargers that might even do it for you.
