How about battery life?
Hello
I wanted to know if you are happy with battery life, if you could compare it with the Kindle 3 much better. greetings |

You can definitely use the battery up very quickly with wifi and listening to music while multitasking. The first charge only lasted 3 days or so when I was playing around with those a great deal. Just reading doesn't seem to change the battery whatsoever. I can't compare with other readers.

PRS-T1 batter life?
I"m burning through the charge in about a week, both Kindle 3 and PRS-T1. They did say a charge should last about a month, but that was based on reading about half an hour a day. Since I read 2-3 hours a day on both, I'm prettty pleased with the battery life.

I've had mine for 2 weeks and am still on the initial charge. I read approx. 2 hours daily but don't use wifi or listen to music.

I believe the battery life is typical for any reader with a touchscreen - much shorter than my old PRS-505, but still pretty decent, dependent on what your own usage pattern is.

I've only charged the T1 once since the initial charge. And I'm not really sure I needed to charge it. I just wanted to see what a full battery looks like. I use the wifi sparingly. I try to remember to turn it off, but it sits in standby mode. I haven't listened to music on it yet, I don't think. But I seldom do. I read about two or three hours a night (with me nodding off and the book looking at me.

Compared to the 650, it is a big improvement in my opinion. For some reason, my 650 would burn through the battery in 3-4 days on standby with 2 hours of daily use at most. |

I charge my 650 on average once a month and that is when it still has 25-50% (1-2 bars) of battery capacity remaining. The longest it has gone between charges is just under 2 months (55+ days) before it was down to 25%. (1 bar) This is powering off the reader between sessions, NOT putting it in standby. When putting it in standby I typically get anything from 14 - 24 days between charges, again when battery capacity is between 25-50% (1-2 bars) remaining, the *typical* charging cycle for a 650 according to Sony. Read my previous posts for the details of my 'experiements' when the charging cycle of my 650. |

My reader burned through the initial battery in a couple HOURS due to the intensive web surfing.
The web surfing experience in this reader is unexpectedly good. |

I've charged the 650 with either pc or USB ac adapter. Before getting the T1, my solution to my battery issue on the 650 was a full shut down every time I'm not using it. That "fixed" it, as the battery lasted at least a month. Therefore my conclusion was a way above normal battery drain in standby mode and not a lack of charge or battery capacity.
