Not really an issue for a Kindle-like device - it lasts about 30 days without a charge, which is long enough to read more books than I'd care to carry on a no-electricity trip.

Don't do it with library books obviously, but if you own the book, try it. It vastly improved my reading experience when I started annotating.
