Battery Life: The Kyobo eReader delivers up to three weeks of battery life, preserving an important attribute that identifies the e-reader category. Kyobo built this device to function as an e-reader and accordingly, applied the industry standard e-reader usage model (of course, those other e-readers feature black and white displays) of 30 min of use each day, WiFi Off, standby power the rest of the time – and in our case, 25% front light brightness – we’ll get to that next. These are Kyobo’s reported numbers. Reading Light: Our mirasol® displays work by reflecting ambient light (see how it works), and for darker environments, an integrated reading light is used (we’ve blogged on this before), and in the case of the Kyobo eReader, is controlled by an ambient light sensor. Above, we discuss how there is an assumed 25% brightness in all usage. Interesting, it sounds like the Kyobo PR where they state the battery life with "25% front light utilization" actually means that the front light is always on but only at 25% power. That means the report that the front light is needed in most indoors situations shouldnt have that big an impact on the quoted battery life. Very nice to see Q reacting to the online discussions of their products.... Slacker
