MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Poll: How many page turns do you get per charge

Kobo claim that a battery charge should last for 8000 pages, but reports vary wildly, and some users claim they manage less than 500 page turns per battery charge.

I am very interested to know how many page turns Kobo Reader owners actually get per battery charge, to give us an accurate idea of what the "average" Kobo owner can expect from their Reader. Hopefully this poll will help demystify the marketing hype!

To be clear about my definition, a "page turn" is a refresh of the Kobo's eInk screen - when it goes black and then displays a new page of text. Not to be confused with the number of "pages" an ebook contains, as displayed at the bottom of the Reader's screen.
