I'm not so cynical about ASUS. The network model I have promises 6+ hrs; I get up to 8 hrs in places where that matters (where Bluetooth and Wifi are turned off). So, if they are floating the notion of 5 days, I'd expect they mean it.

The 6 inch screen gives me pause, however: what we need is some practical reading device which handles "typical" magazines -- think National Geographic or Hello Magazine in balance of form factor, text, colour, pictures. Something approaching 8x11, 9x12, A4, etc ... but 6"? Erm, not so much.
