I recently bought a DX graphite, and the battery life doesn't seem to be nearly as impressive as advertised. With wireless disabled, no indexing taking place, no TTS/MP3 active, and just reading (no standby mode ever being active) the device lasts about 50-60 hours (2000 page turns?) does that sound correct?

Smaller devices such as the K3 and the newer sony readers are boasting 10k page turns and 2 week long battery life, and I haven't been able to see any real responses to how long these devices last, specifically the DX.

I called amazon support and they said it should last at least 2 weeks, which I doubt but still... What sort of battery life do you guys get?
