I have an iriver Story, left on get 4 days before it needs charging. Turn it right off getting over 3 weeks on a single charge.

When the reader is on it is still using power, to keep memory going, or if you have a clock, uses power to run it.

Even those other people with the iriver Story will also confirm your battery lasts much much longer when you turn it off.

Like a laptop, in standby mode you are still using power, then only time your not using power is turned off altoghter.

Remember ebook readers still have computer chips and processor chips and still use power in standby.
