I've been trying, off and on, to get a handle on the REAL battery capacity of the T1, with no luck.

Recharging on a weekly basis isn't new to me, I like to read a lot!

It seems likely that reading PDFs might consume more power than reading ePubs.

When I read ePubs with my standard settings(font: Really No 2, size: 2), I approximate that I do about 1.4 to 1.5 actual page turns per whatever bulls### standard they use to indicate the page number. That said, I think I'm getting something around 2500 page turns per charge.

I use a wall charger and plug in when there are no bars on the battery indicator and the device has warned me not to use wifi(which is usually turned solidly OFF) plus whatever it takes to finish the book, chapter or whatever, maybe half an hour. I've not yet dared the device to tell me it's fully discharged, because I read somewhere it ain't good to completely discharge LiPo batteries(which seems to be what's in the T1).

Somewhere(I don't recall where) on the moblieread forum I read that it's better to use a wall charger than the computer.
