If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Yeah, the battery on mine lasts ages.
I have the light on the lowest setting. I don't need the screen to be bright white, and the lowest level is perfect for reading in a pitch black cabin at work.

I'd go with the Kindle Reader as well, for reading.

Battery life is really in the region of 24 hours though. Comparing 8 weeks based on 30 mins a day to 13 hours use for a smartphone is a whole load of BS.

Either way, it's way longer than anything with a colour screen at doesn't use e-ink.

Once there is a colour e ink tablet it will dominate the sales of text books and comics, especially if there was a retina level resolution.

You do realise that what you're describing is a tablet, don't you?  Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk 4 _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry  I'll behave now. Promise

Indeed it would. Though I'd be happy with a retina level of normal e-ink.
My Kindle paperwhite is almost perfect. I'd just like a fraction higher resolution on the screen.

Wouldn't the Kobo Aura HD fit that specification?

I do. Though colour e-ink tablets would be great for graphic novels or magazines. Colour tablets obviously exist, but the power drain is immense compared to a colour e-ink reader, so not so great for travelling. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

Maybe. I haven't looked. But I wouldn't buy another ebook reader now I have one. Not unless it breaks anyway.

Having had my Twitter account hacked, yet again, I have now deactivated my account and will not be returning to the twitterverse. Not sure why anyone would want to hack my account just to send crap prawn links to people but there you go...

They are also not so comfortable to read. A backlit display is not so easy to read as a normal piece of paper or eInk.
