Apple may have a solution for short battery life on the Apple Watch. Put the battery in the band. An Apple patent application dated today illustrates a battery on the strap of a wearable device, presumably the Apple Watch. The proposed patent also shows that watch's circular face, which is a different shape than the Apple Watch's usual rectangular display.
E-readers like Kindles only use power when the content of the screen changes. Because of that, Kindles have a long battery life. That means you probably need to charge it every few days or weeks rather than once a day. Still, Business Insider reports there are a number of ways to save the battery life on your Kindle--especially if it's aging and the battery is wearing out. Keep your reading light as low as possible, and put your Kindle to sleep when you're not using it. Next, don't have it connected to the internet when you don't need it. Switch it to airplane mode in the Settings menu. Finally, when downloading books, charge both during the download and a little bit after, while the Kindle updates. That will save lots of juice!

According to founder James Dyson, battery life won't be an issue either. He told journalists, "Fifteen years of daily use might get you down to 80% battery." He added, "By then you’ll probably want to upgrade to our new model anyway.”
