In my experience this is one area where the Kobos seem weak, especially in comparison to the PocketBooks and Kindles.

Yes, Kobo battery life is very bad - my Sage is awful. But the commenter deemed battery life so bad as to require a return, despite considering it superior as a reader.
I understand that everyone's choices are different but to say that a reader is superior in functionality yet return it because it would need charging every other day seems strange to me. 20 hours battery life would most likely be at least 2 days of usage, offering plenty of time for the device to charge while doing other things - like sleeping. No inconvenience, no lost reading time.
