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?

I have only had one battery issue with my 650 since I bought it, and that was fixed with a soft reset.
Normally I find that with daily use it falls to about 50% in just over a week. I never deliberately put mine to sleep, just let the device go to sleep on its own. And I have only ever once shut the device down completely.
And to answer your questions:
1) No, I don't have any pdfs on it.
2) No, I use Sony Reader Library to manage the device. I use Calibre for book editing etc., but I hate the way it forces you to adopt its folder structure which you cannot change.
3) All my epubs are of questionable quality!
4) Not sure about the firmware version - the one it came with.
Hope that helps.
