I don't know. With the glowlight that only gives around 15 hours of reading, which really isn't much more then some tablets that can get 10 plus hours on a single charge.

It is weird though that apparently this version gets only half the read time as the non glow light version even when its not using the light though. I can't imagine how there could be such a huge difference between the two.

Glad to see this start to come out for ereaders though. It's a function I have definitely been waiting for. If I could get a nook up here in Canada there is a good chance I would have updated my original Kobo for this. But may be worth waiting for a few more to come out and drive down the cost.



This is another lighting technology that hopefully will be out soon as well. Seems to use only 1 led and looks to give more consistent lighting.
