I will be the first :)
Nook Glowlight (2013)
Those who say something like "android on any book wildly eats battery" is dedicated to: 1st measurement (don't know how to create spoiler for many screenshots, sorry; link for screenshots in the end of the post) Time since last charging 33d 5h Almost 1d 8h screen on time (32 hours) In fact, since the screenshots, I lived about 7 more hours of standby. The device is 4.5 years old, everyday usage (not special test), I didn’t do anything especially to increase the working time, the main programs used are ZXReader for reading and ReLaunch as launcher, backlight is turned on 95% of the reading time, the level on the screenshots, Wi-Fi is turned on extremely rarely (download books, screenshots) 2nd measurement Time since last charging 24d 3h Almost 1d 18h screen on time (42 hours) 3rd measurement Time since last charging 18d 18h Almost 1d 20h screen on time (44 hours) Source (4pda forum, Russian) Sorry for my bad English |

Both have a battery life that is sufficiently long that it's really not a consideration when buying, to my mind. When you can go "many days" without charging, it becomes (for me at least) irrelevant what figure actually constitutes "many".

I believe these eReaders use the most power when changing pages. So how long one lasts on a battery charge will be a function of how many pages you turn (how fast you read, and how frequently you read). I guess you could set your font size to really really small, therefore in theory you'd turn fewer pages, thus using less battery.
Also, are you using the light or not - that will certainly affect battery usage as well. I agree with HarryT - the battery lasts plenty long for most peoples usage. Battery life (given how long current eReaders typically last) would not be a consideration in my purchase decision either. |
