Me? I haven't said one disparaging word about them! Terminator is a compliment, I swear it is!

And using the Kindle while testing Kobo's standby (in)efficiency only served to remind me of that fact. Having to force reboot Kobo 2 times (because it stopped responding) while doing stuff like change light intensity or wanting to hide the header didn't help my mood. From 9th to 14th of February Kobo discharged 10-11% of battery doing nothing while during that exact same time period on my Kindle PW5 I've read ~370 pages and that has discharged ~11% of Kindle's battery. |

So? Obviously the PW5 has better battery life. If that is what you care about the most, why torture yourself with those experiments? Just sell your Libra and buy a new PW.
Personally I don't care. The Libra has good enough battery life for me. My Sage is a lot worse and I somehow still manage to read happily on it almost every day. But then battery life has never been a priority for me. As long as the battery lasts for a couple of days, I'm content. |

I could never lives with the Sage's battery life. But I have no problem with the Libra 2.
