Battery Life

Battery

What's up with this battery life ???? It's only lasting maybe five hours on a full charge. Yes,that's constant reading but my original nook would last got days I could read constantly ten to twelve hours and not get low battery notification.

I now carry only this, not a couple of paperbacks, a notebook and a pen. The battery life is phenomenal! I read 3-4 hours a day 5 days a week with frequent interruptions (work, what can you do?) so it often powers off and the battery is still 50%-60% at the end of the week! The ability to change the screen lighting makes it easy on the eyes, the bluetooth connection works well with ear buds but I've only been able to bluetooth tether it to my phone once. The Wi-Fi tether works like a champ every time. My only "complaints" are: 1) setting up the google play store (for the nook and Kindle apps) is frustrating if you don't, as I did not, read the instructions (the reboot is, in fact, necessary!) 2) Every time I would tether the device the location would automatically turn on (this has been alleviated with the latest update but contrary to the update notes, location is NOT turned off by default

Size

Husband loves it

This one is bigger, brighter, and the battery lasts longer. Plus when he logged onto his account he was able to transfer all of his books. We still prefer paper and ink, but if he is going to be out in the field the NOOK is the way to go.

E.reader for a philosophy student ?

3' size, my suggestion will be to go for Boox Note 3. Even though Note air is also a great option in that size, I won't recommend it for your use case because you said you will use it on the go a lot.
