The one drawback on the jetbook lite, is the fact that it is steadily eating away the batteries while sitting there turned "off" on the shelf. Unused, you will have completely drained batteries in about two weeks. The only way around this as far as I know is to yank the batteries out whenever you're not reading.

Curious. The battieries in my JBL have been in the unit for at least three or four weeks now and the battery "meter" hasn't budged below three bars. It dropped to three bars shortly after I inserted the batteries because of the initial voltage drop to be expected from the low loss NiMH Eneloops I'm using. In fact, when I turned it on a couple of minutes ago, just for excrement and merriment, it showed a full battery for about 30 seconds before dropping back to three bars again which suggests it will be on three bars for some time to come. This is normal with these batteries and experience has told me it is nothing to worry about.
I got way more than two weeks on the alkaline batteries that came with my JBL
