Amazon and Barnes Noble are duking it out over the particular battery lives of the Kindle and the new touch-screen Nook. The margin of fighting is the eerie belligerent of press releases and promo-page blurb, and the final word seems to have been had by BN.
After BN laid out the specs for its new e-reader, Amazon took situation with the numbers, adage that BN's affirm complacent on use tests of only a half hour of use per day, with wireless switched off. Amazon's use tests pretence an hour of use per day, moreover with wireless switched off.
So what did Amazon do? It simply doubled the battery life on the product page to simulate a half-hour every day usage. Sneaky.
BN countered with a really minute statement, surveying the expect tests made. It moreover looks similar to the Kindle was moreover tested in the same way:
With up to two months on a singular charge, the all-new Nook has the longest battery life in the attention and higher battery opening to Kindle 3. In the corresponding tests, beneath the expect same conditions, successive use of the device resulted in more than two times Kindle's battery life.
While getting more information at a page a minute, the all-new Nook battery lasts for 150 hours, where the Kindle battery, using the same page-turn rate, lasts for only 56 hours (both with Wi-Fi off). We've moreover completed a successive page spin assessment and at a page spin per second, the all-new Nook offers more than 25,000 successive page turns on a singular charge.
I admire that BN calls 150 only "two times" 56, when it could simply say "almost 3 times." That shows a few confidence. However this functions out, it's established that both e-readers have violent battery life compared to any other type of gadget. And if you're basing your preference on this spec alone, instead of height of catalogue and ease of use, then you're may seeking in the incorrect direction.
