Hi Jim, My statement was poised to the fact that amazon states a 2 month battery life with just half an hour a day. Why not give a more revealing estimate of the battery life. Like 30 hours of continuous reading. Like I said I read often 4-5 hours at time. So that would give me only about a week of reading, but that is not that bad at all. Yet, as I mentioned in another post batteries do "regenerate" when not in use. regards Keith. Am 29.09.2011 um 20:23 schrieb Jim Adcock:
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."
