Why do not the say how long the battery last with continuos reading! I read hours at a time! Only 6" screen.
In practice in my experience the Kindles' batteries pretty much "last forever" with continuous reading. What runs the battery down, in practice, is leaving the send/receive transmit needlessly turned on. Unlike LED or LCD displays the black and white Kindles consume vanishingly small amounts of power while passively displaying a page of a book. In practice I do charge my Kindles about "once a month." as compared to my netbook, which needs to be charged about "once a day."
