You get a few days, we get a few weeks.
Hans, I don't think that this is correct. My understanding is that a moderate user of an eInk device will get four weeks between charges, and a moderate user of a jetBook will get two weeks. I know that I get about two weeks between changing batteries with my jetBook Lite.

Going four weeks without a charge is great, but jetBook aficianadoes here often point out that charging every other week is not an inconvenience.
