The AA batteries is part of why I got my Jetbook Lite after doing lots of reading on this forum. Also, of course, the many different formats it reads. And, as suggested, I got Sanyo Eneloops rechargeable batteries, as unlike other rechargeables, they hold their charge for a very long time when not in use. I love being able to swap batteries whenever and wherever I am. The side benefit is that the Sanyos are so good that I've started using them in many other things that need AA and AAA batteries, and they amaze me with the length of time between charges. If you get them, be sure to get a good charger that will charge them slowly.

My new "smart" phone, which is smarter than I am, has enough fabulous features to keep me interested, so I don't need an ereader with all the goodies. and I can easily load ebooks on it, too, if for some reason I don't want to carry my JBL somewhere.

Everybody's mileage varies, but I love having two or three sets of charged batteries ready to go that work in both my ereader, camera, etc. I'm glad the nice folks on the JB forum steered me this way!
