This is the sort of battery life I expected. Mine does not seem to come close to your experience though. My book reading habit is about the same as yours, and I get much poorer battery life. I seem to get down one bar within one or two days - not the 2.5 weeks you are getting.

Still- I have not been able to get a firm pattern yet - I have not been using the unit long enough. I know when I was camping, it would only last me 2-3 days (until 1 bar left, NOT 1 bar down). 2-5 weeks and only 1 bar down would be brilliant! Perhaps my battery is a bit flakey as well? Or perhaps is just needs a few more charge/discharge cycles?
