Yet the battery of my Palm Treo lasts for about 4 hours of reading. Of course I don't have anything but cell phone running while I'm reading, and rarely use that since I've been sensible about giving out my cell number. (I.e. I don't give it to people who use it so they can 'connect' with me at their convenience. I have the cell for my convenience, not theirs. Call me on it if it's an emergency. If you do otherwise then I won't give you my new cell #.)
