The quoted battery life is dismal; the Kindle can go for weeks on one charge, as can the Sony Reader range.
Is 13.5hrs a typo? Or is there a low power mode in there somewhere?
I keep telling people I want a notebook notebook, meaning a computer that doubles as a notepad. Hopefully, it'll be cheap, I'm handicapped and my hours have been cut way down. Not a lot of money to spend at the moment.
I'll google it, thanks.
