I'd like to have a Kindle with audio, but I am dubious about his claim and thus his honesty. Is it at all credible that a device from so many years ago would still have a battery in that condition? (He doesn't say anything about his usage over the years (such as "hardly used") other than the battery claim.

No, he is not full of it. I read probably one hour to two hours a day and rarely had to charge it for at least 3 weeks if in airplane mode. The only time I had to charge it more frequently is when I increased my reading time like when traveling. I was disappointed that the Voyage didn't have such long a life but must be the light.
