There are so many variables that can effect battery length. I think the real problem is the way in which battery length was presented.
Battery charge of up to 2 Weeks: Or 8000 page-turns in 'Book Years'
What the hell is that supposed to mean anyways!?
Most other electronic devices are stated in terms of "hours of use." Cell phones usually give battery length in terms of "standby time" and "talk time." MP3 Players/Ipods usually give battery length in terms of "music play back time" and "video play back time." I have even seen the Kindle state battery length in terms of "reading time."
While these terms can also be somewhat hazy, they do give the user, a better idea of what to expect from the device. While I am not dissapointed with the Kobo in terms of battery length, I would have liked to see it stated in "reading time," rather than page turns which really isn't that realistic when all other factors are considered.
