I wonder how the battery life of the competition (Sony, Amazon) etc compares.

I did some tests when I first got mine and had similar results. I did get the battery to last 14 days but I was only reading about 50 pages a day at the time.

The claim of "8,000 page turns" is very exaggerated and doesn't come close to real world use. All of the e-ink vendors seem to quote the same number though so it appears to come from the manufacturer. I personally think it's a useless specification and should not be used to compare the various readers until they start producing real life tests of their own specific products.
I'm actually very happy with the battery life but wish they wouldn't inflate the specifications. It just leads to consumer disappointment.
