That's the main reason I bought my BeBook Mini. Battery life. If I go camping, I want to have a device that lasts the entire trip. (usually, we go from camping to camping, in a small tent, so generally no way to charge devices).

I tried my device in direct sunlight. Not that I like to read in direct sunlight, I prefer the shade, but I put my reader on the table outside. Open, and turned on. I left it there for a few hours (while I fled into the coolness of our house
) and when I came back, it was still looking the same.
