There are 2 different Capacity Cycles for the Sony PRS 505. One is with the Shut Down Enabled and the other with the Shut Down Disabled. One gets to Shut Down via the Settings in the Main Menu.

If Shut Down is Enabled less charge is used but it takes a little longer to boot up when the On/Off Switch is used.

So far with Shut Down Disabled I've had one 16 day cycle. I'm in my second cycle with the same setting now. The third cycle will be with Shut Down Enabled.

I do most of my reading on my PC using my 24" LCD Monitor. I just open the Reader to synchronize my bookmark in my current book. I only read via the Reader when baby sitting for my daughter and waiting in offices. I also read books on my PC using MS Reader. I alternate between MS Reader and Sony eBook Reader each day.
