I attempted a similar experiment to tompe's and am getting very similar results -- I'm at 10% after 48 hours with the unit powered on at the library screen -- have been busy the past few days and haven't used the Cybook.

At least for some of us, the newer firmware is causing faster battery drain.

I don't have a spare battery to play with (yet).
