Depends what you want. I am very impressed with the battery life, it
makes a whole class of things possible that weren't before for me

It is quite low if all you want to do is read books in a field though
all day, but I don't, so I can't comment.

A bagatelle then.

Presumably, for those many of us who like to read 'War and Peace' *and*
'The Brothers Karamazov' in the park on the same day, somebody is going
to produce a clip-on battery pack, as for the iPhone?
