If not, I don't want to go through the hassle of giving away my beloved Kobo for nothing...
My usage is well above 100 page turns, let me see - just read Shutter Island, 25 chapters averaging 30 pages per - around 750 pages. I would read 3 chapters a night so that's about 8 power cycles in there as well plus required navigation. Also I have an SD card so there's some more juice being used in the mix. Loaded some PDF bike trail maps for camping on the weekend. Lots of flipping and zooming there (and head scratching too but that's not the Kobo's fault). Let my friends fool around with it.

Right now my battery is still at about 25%.

All in all I'd say I am satisfied that the charge has lasted this long.
