At first, I thought it was just the 600. I ran the 650 with books in memory only for the first few weeks and battery life was like my 505 and I was so happy! Inserted a memory card full of books - eek, recharge every few days again!

I still use the card and just charge it more often. But one of these days, I'll probably try breaking up my books into a couple or three cards to see if there's any benefit to having fewer books at one time.
I had similar feelings when I switched to the 650.

I think a factor might be that I've not loaded many books to the 650 (and hence not been recharging it while it's hooked up to my pc), but I've now started shutting down the 650 (rather than putting it on standby) and the battery life seems a lot more like my 505 used to be.
