I'm not sure he is. There are a lot of good reasons for keeping it at about 2 weeks of average use or so. It's a nice number for e-readers.
Yes, we can recharge it more, but plenty of people don't want to have it plugged in at inconvenient times. I don't want to spend vacation time searching for a charger because I left mine at home. Or be limited at how far from electricity I can be because I want to take my reader with me. At 2 weeks, I can go camping in the mountains with food, gear, a telescope, and my reader, and be pretty much guaranteed I don't need to lug my battery station with me unless I'm doing some astro imaging on the trip. With my trip to Oregon, I was able to get away with bringing some gadgets with me because of the battery station, but my 505 never got plugged in. It was good the whole week I was an hour away from civilization.
