About battery life, without using WIFI and LCD side, it is stated to last 11 hours and 6 hours with both wifi and LCD screen. It is certainly not long as I would like but it is serviceable. One thing to note is that eDGe does not have hibernation mode, so users have to turn off the machine to save battery if not in use for a long time. It takes about 1 min 10 sec to boot up the machine

One major benefit of having two screen is the ability to 'capture' the screen of e-ink screen to LCD side. (Watch 1:56~2:21)

This allows me to check color illustrations on LCD side. Another use is to capture a figure/table/page on LCD side and read texts on e-ink side avoiding the need to flip back and forth between figure/table and text describing the figure/table.
This is very useful. Just a question.Is it easy to annotate with the pen over the text?
