Admittedly, this is a bit silly test since most people do not have multiple ereaders they do not use on a regular basis and if you are using USB to transfer books, that is also going to recharge your battery during the process.
My Libra 2 (and with my previous Libra 1 was the same) has a standby average battery consumption of 2-3% per day (without touching the reader) so after 35-45 days without use, it fully discharges. My Paperwhite 11th literally can be MONTHS in that state.
