How about replacing the battery? Can you do it? Is it easy to do? If it's easy to replace a battery, it might be handy to have two batteries ready. One in the reader, one in reserve. I should be able to replace my battery without losing data (if only that backup battery would work) for example.

In short, we need a hands-on!
I don't think we would ever turn off the backlight with the traditional LCD display, so there's no point estimating the battery life with the LCD off.

By the way, 3 hours is just too short for reading fictions. I go longer than that when I'm really absorbed in a certain book. And the need to charge more often hinders the reader's autonomy.
