I have also noticed faster battery drain. I'm in the middle of moving and my PC is still in different country. I charged my CyBook and it lasted aprox 3 days (with my normal reading pattern). Thanks Buddha I had my external Mp3 charger which uses USB as well.
So I wonder what "Improvement: reduced power consumption" means.
Now the biggest disappointment I had about new firmware is that I really expected to have some folder/directory structure support.
- I don't use PDFs anymore (not since I learned how to make PRC books correctly)
- I don't listen to mp3 on Cybook
- I read books page by page (no need for me to press any button 20 times in the row)
So this firmware for which I waited long time decreased my battery life and at the same time didn't improve any aspect of my Cybook use. Way to go.
I think I will go back to previous version and wait untill firmware that works for me.
Regards
MJ
