About Your eBook Reader’s Battery

How Many Weeks Does Your eBook Reader’s Battery Stay Charged?
Most ereader batteries last about 2-4 weeks with regular usage.

Maybe they can go 2 months if you’re barely using them.

The entry-level Kindle and Kobo Aura One both claim up to 4 weeks of battery life.
The Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Voyage, and Nook GlowLight Plus all boast up to 6 weeks of battery life per charge.

One of the main things that separates ebook readers from other devices is their E Ink screens that use very little power, making it so ereaders can go weeks without needing their battery charged.

Conserve Your Kindle E-Reader Battery

Is your Kindle new or recently set up? In the first few days as you download books and install updates, the battery drains. Please keep your Kindle charging during this time.

After set up, use our tips to conserve battery power:

Lower your device’s light settings: Devices with a built-in light use more battery.
Turn off your device’s internet connection when not in use.
Make sure to use a compatible USB cable to charge your Kindle (preferably the one that came with it).
Put your device to sleep when done reading. Press the power button once briefly.
Keep your device charging during large downloads.
Keep your device charging for a period of time after large downloads. After downloading, your Kindle indexes your books to provide search capability, but it affects battery life.
Note: Your Kindle automatically updates when it’s not in use, affecting battery life.

If your device won’t hold a charge or the charge doesn’t last long enough to get you through your day, it may be time to replace the battery. If you’re looking for where to buy batteries for your iPad, Kindle or one of many other top e-reader brands, we have everything you need to stay powered up.
