So I guess I will contact Bookeen and see if there is any chance they would send me a new battery since the device is *new* in that I just purchased it, no matter how long NewEgg actually had it in warehouse.
The other option is to simply purchase a replacement battery myself, but the only place I see to buy them is from Bookeen at $45!

Are you absolutely certain that you are putting it to sleep in between uses, versus just leaving it on the last page?
The reason I ask is that I usually just read at home and leave it on the last page on my nightstand. But on a recent business trip with snippets of free time and I kept stuffing it back in the slipcase without sleeping it. And the battery was dropping rapidly.
I didn't catch on to the problem at first, until I realized three separate times that I had to put it back on the page I had left it on - it was ending up on random pages.
When you don't put it in sleep, it still reads button presses AND the accelerometer kept activating as it floated around in my bag. Needless to say, the battery drained in half a day, versus the normal 12+ days I had seen before.
