I've had my Onyx Boox for 4 months now. I've been reading some 2 books per week on average, and normally I need to recharge once per week. I normally switch the device off when I know I'm not going to read further within the next hour or so. This week I'm trying what happens if I leave it on standby more often. I'm not seeing a lot of difference yet.
I think that battery life is better with the latest firmware, but did not make any real measurements, so I'm not really sure.
The WiFi can drain the battery, so don't browse the Internet if you want to prolong battery life.
There's been a rumor that putting the stylus in its slot would switch the Wacom screen off and so save power, but that's not true. It makes no difference where you put the stylus.
I don't know if using the stylus to page through a book takes more or less power than using the button, so I cannot recommend one over the other.
People say that reading books from internal memeory takes less power than reading them from an SD card.
In all, if you mainly use the Neo / Boox for 'fast and frequent' reading , you can expect to recharge it once to twice per week (perhaps closer to 'twice').
You've made an excellent choice. The Neo / Boox is a great reader!
