"Using only 20% or 30% of the battery capacity before recharging will extend cycle life" That translates as recharging to 70-80% I get what you mean about the battery life/effort ratio, but the whole reason I bothered is because I like the Forma alot (except for the atrocious button) and it seems like Kobo is not keen on making something like it (large capacity of storage but also light with a good battery) again for awhile, if at all. I found a Forma with this capacity hard to get in Australia. I had to use a freight forwarder to even get them to send it to me. I don't want a Sage because it is heavier, with a poor battery. So I want to my very-hard-to-get again Forma to last. I don't think its too hard to avoid completely discharging and only a little hassle to avoid recharging entirely. I wonder if there are chargers that might even do it for you. Last edited by LivresInOz; 06-10-2022 at 03:58 PM. |

If you just need something for the times when the device is not in use or to keep the dust off, I echo the neoprene sleeve route. I bought some no-name generic one with a zipper around my device's size off of eBay years ago, and it works great. I don't believe it was even targeted for mobile devices, which probably also made it cheap.
