I have the feeling we can't expect a stellar battery life. It will be measured in days (as opposed to the iLiadan hours, but not in weeks as the Sonys)
Maybe well finally get that review next week. (or maybe even the cybook in 2 weeks...)  |
Things have *changed* a bit with the current firmware. The Cybook now can be set to Auto Power Off after a set period of inactivity. Me, I like the 45 minute setting, but each user can choose between 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes as well as set it to not do an Auto Power Off.
With that feature, the reader will probably have a battery charge life measured in weeks. After I get done taking the menu images, and the 'ghosting' when not using the 'flashing-between-page-flips' feature, I will specifically reset the Auto Power Off to a comfortable 15 minutes and see how long it takes for average use and shut-down to drain the battery.
