Amazon Kindle

I would always be taking the phone though and it has Kindle on it. I only took a laptop to Oz because I was away for ages and might be called upon for emergency work.
I have other stuff to do on holidays, reading is only happening on the plane. For a trip to Oz it might be worth it but how long does the battery last?

Seems pretty good.

I performed this test yesterday as it happened- reading Quantum Thief on my Nexus One/Kindle.

Train journey to Canterbury- Nexus One from full, off charge at 07.15 was totally dead by 12.45.

The Kindle's battery is meant to be rather better than half a day.
