Everybody seem to overlook the continued cost of batteries. The "up to 20 hours..." is probably as optimistic as Sony's claim of "up to 7500 page turns on a charge!"

I don't know the cost for two of these batteries, but they ain't cheap! Replacing two every 20 hours of reading will really add up. For me, for example, that would be about every 4-5 days. You may want to buy a gross at a time.

I got the rechargeable 4-LED one, and while it still is not as bright as I'd hoped for, at least don't have to buy batteries every week or so.
