Hi everybody, I'm lovin' the PocketBook forum, great tips for customizing and using the ereader. I got the surprise of my life yesterday (Sunday 12 December) when the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, there was the guy from Canada Post with my PockeBook Pro 902 and a bill for $45 HST. Paid him as quickly as I could and dove into the box with the 902 and started to play. I've only had about 3 hours to play with it so far, and from what I see, it appears that the battery life is pretty darned good, but I was wondering if anyone has any numbers on it?

Also, with my old Sony ereaders, I found that power consumption increased even in standby mode if there was a memory card installed. Has anyone checked to see if this happens with the 902?

With the exception of the margin issue already mentioned elsewhere in the forum, I'm extremely happy with the 902 so far. Since the 902 accepts so many different formats, I now only have to worry about converting a few ebooks for it. I love the costumizability of it, the fact that I can make any button do almost anything I want is just terrific.
