my reader's behavior is different. sometimes when i read it every 3rd day or so for a couple hours, each time i open it, it's down another bar. I put it to sleep, but never turn it all the way off myself.

For those whose battery life doesn't seem to have these issues (and even those that do), perhaps you wouldn't mind answering the following questions to see if we can come up with a pattern: do you have any pdf's installed on your reader? Do you manage it with Calibre? Do you have any epub's of questionable quality? What version of the firmware do you have?
