Both normally doesn't suffer mentioned battery-problem. Nor with older version of PRS+ nor with newer ones. I've to admit that since a couple of months I use my own custom builds without games.
Every time I startet a game, battery drained very quickly, esp. chess.

Very seldom battery drained over night. So far as I can say that - reason has been in any case a specific eBook, not PRS+. After deleting this book problems vansihed.
Hi Analogus.
I have the Zork version installed on my 650, and I have also noticed that the battery does not last very long, sometimes from a full battery I lost 1 bar overnight. I supposed it was because I need to check the dictionary frequently and this may be power-consuming...

But, last week I put the reader to sleep manually with only 1 bar in the battery, and after 3-4 days of not using it... the reader didn't power on: the battery was completely empty...
So now I'm starting to think that it really drains some battery while on sleep mode


Just for the record, I only use the device for reading books (epub mostly) and dictionary look-ups.

Thanks!
