I would. The 2 biggest benefits of the Sony Readers to me are the e-ink display and the fact that you DON'T have to constantly recharge the thing. It's much more like a book, going 2 weeks or more between charges (long enough for a vacation or business trip). Just adding a few new books (like borrowed library books) every couple of weeks is enough to keep the juice full.
I also bet that this figure refers to page turns with wireless OFF (otherwise they would quote a longer 'reading only' battery life), and that using the wireless will give this device a very short time between charges. Right there, that's a 'no sale' for me. (Of course, the wireless is a non-starter for me anyway.)
