same here, with regular reading of 20-50 pages/day, I only get about 7 days or so with the 505, where as before with the 500, i get up to 14-15 days with the same usage. also, I miss the metal studs in between the number buttons, now when i close the book, i often accidentally engage the goto-page screen(2-3 extra wasted screen refreshes)

ps. most of my books are Rastafarian converted PDFs(image LRF), so this may also uses more power than the text-based LRF that were sold.
