Wow, 500 page turns seems exceptionally bad, but it does depend on what period of time those page turns are over. If that's in one day, you definitely have something wrong. If that's over 3 weeks it might be ok since the unit will drop about 25% per week with no usage and just being in standby.
Since my earlier post on this topic my battery life seems to have improved quite a bit. As an example it just dropped to 50% last night and that was with 1550 page turnes over the past 9 days. I would guess I would have seen at least 3500 page turns which isn't bad. The only change I made was to do a reset and load my books into memory as opposed to having any on an SD card. I've also noticed that it has improved over a few charge/discharge cycles.
My current opinion is that it is a little worse than the 500, but I expected that with a thinner design and more memory.
