Hi samac,
I've got an EB01, I think. Isn't the EB02 the wireless-enabled version? iRiver told me quite emphatically not to take the original Story past the 1.7x (3 0r 5 or 6, I can't recall which at the moment).
But if this is not the case, I'd be very happy to hear.
About the fading battery life: I've read frequently of late that the iRivers - every model - have only a limited physical life, moreso than many other brands. It's partly because iRiver uses ... well, let's just say, not top-of-the-line components ... in their assembly. I gather it's iRiver's "strategy" as a company that it doesn't continue support or development of any its devices (both eReaders and PMPs) past about 12 months; that maybe guarantees the company a revenue flow, but the cost is large to its customers, and it also means none of the devices have exactly robust software to run from. It's that sort of predatory tactic in the company that means I'll be looking to a different brand for a replacement when this one dies.
