Hi folks, I'm obviously a newbie testing these waters. Read all the reviews, watched the youtube vids, had a Libre in my hands and the Sony PRS300 and 600.

But NOTHING really addresses the issue of hands-on experience with battery life. And whats the diff with Page Turns vs Hours ? (A device could be on for hours and have an unrelated number of turns, right?)

Some pages say 24 Hours for Jetbook / Libre, some say it equals the 7500-8000 Page Turns of Sony. But I read I think in here someone said ONLY 600 Page Turns on their Jetbook !!?

So--- Could folks chime in with Personal Experience for *BATTERY LIFE*

and if you know,,, how it compares between these models:

*JETBOOK
*ALURATEK LIBRE
*JETBOOK LITE
*SONY PRS-300 (not really interested, but curious now...)

I can only afford to purchase one, once.
Supply here is Aluratek from Costco ($169), or the Sony ($199), but I don't mind going ebay for a Jetbook ($150) or Lite ($130)

ANYWAY... PLEASE HELP.... been at this for DAYS !

Kindest Regards,

James
