I'm outside of US and don't need 3G function of the device.
When we turn on the 'airplane mode' at setup menu, we can't use 3G. Does it mean that it turned off 3G in the device totally? And it gives help battery life be longer? At E-book Reader Matrix, I've seen that the battery life is much longer without 3G than with 3G, in case of Kindle.
Is it the same to DR800SG? I wonder that..
