Not really. I'm not sure what the claims where but, weren't the 2 weeks? And people here saying the read multiple books etc.

I got a new battery for my K1 as I thought something was wrong with it (bought my K1 used) as I was charging every 7 days or so--and I keep the wireless off and only use it about an hour a day (usually less than that, with some days not using it) and have the font size at 2 (the 2nd smallest).

But it's the same with the new battery. It's not bad buy any means, just didn't hit the 2 weeks, read 3 or 4 books, etc. I read before buying one.

Was silly to buy a new battery anyway as I don't really take advantage of long battery life anyway since I only read on home and some short flights. But I was bothered it wasn't hitting the 2 weeks I'd heard touted so I got a new one anyway.
