The reason I asked is because the latest MacbookPro (I know you won't buy Apple )was tested with simple web browsing and music playing, and lasted...8 hours in real world testing-which sounds similar to just reading text to me. That is with a 15" LCD with LED backlighting at 50% brightness and wifi on.

So I definitely think its achievable with a Tablet today...and HP is using similar batteries as Apple in some of their products.
