Hi Jordan. I don't actually own a Kobo, but was going to go pick one up today at chapters since I broke my PRS505 and was looking for a basic reader to replace it.
I don't need annontation, touch screens, mp3 playing etc. I want to read novels and thats it.
After reading all the problems with battery life and turn on time I'm not sure I'm still going to go today to get one.
An ereader that has none of these fancy features really should be able to kick butt on battery life compared to the competition.
I could read forever on my PRS505 and it -never- shuts off unless the battery dies. How do they do their batt management? Is it possible to match it?
To me, it appears it enters a limited sleep between every page turn and I really get like 7000 page turns per charge. I go weeks in between charges.
Are there any plans to make the battery life proper (meeting the advertised 8k page turns) without shutting the device off, since no other device on the market has to rely on this?
Thanks again for posting and dealing directly with your customers (and potential customers) it is always very appreciated when a higher level person (not just PR drone) talks to the customers and makes changes based on their feedback. This alone heavily tips the scales in favour of your company when considering purchases.
Thanks!
