I have been using an old Kindle keyboard 3G for YEARS. It's time to replace it and so I thought I would see if any worthy android based readers are now on the market. It looks like the Mars is a home run.

I read with the kindle in airplane mode and it lasts for weeks between charges. What is a realistic expectation for the Mars? I use a combo of kindle unlimited, Google books, and caliber to download a book, switch to airplane mode and read. I don't foresee using it too much as a tablet so it would not be loaded down with apps.

Thanks.

Steve
