Reporting battery stats (Awake since last charge) for two charges using diff settings:
Auto-standby Off, 3-page Refresh
Total time: 17:28
Consumed: 63%
Change per hour: 3.61%
Est remaining time: 7:13 (~25%)
Auto-standby On, 6-page Refresh
Total time: 23:24
Consumed: 60%
Change per hour: 2.56%
Est remaining time: 7:25 (19%)
Except for the very first page turn after opening a book (sometimes very slow), I didn't notice the latency with Auto-standby On. When I wasn't doing much highlighting, I was consuming as low as 1.7% charge per hour.
Battery life is not necessarily a priority for me. I never use it away from home. I'd more like to prioritize the longevity of the device. What puts more strain on the device: the extra battery use or the powering up and down of the auto-standby?
