Understood what you just said, and I take it to mean that there's some trade-off for the faster speed I'm getting in KOReader.

If we don't go by the battery percentage, how should we decide when to charge the device? I usually do it when the battery level drops below 20% (I inherit this habit from charging my smartphone, though I'm sure the two batteries are different). Do you only charge it when the device is completely out of battery and does not turn on anymore? Or do you use a different gauge?

I'd expected for KOReader to take up more battery than Nickel but didn't expect such significant drop. I'll give it a few more tries before removing it.
