The screen is always on NOT in standby mode. I will read whenever I get a few minutes or more so don't really see the advantage of going into standby mode. As a matter of fact I would think that standby mode would use the battery more since the screen has to be refreshed when turned on.
I do see the advantage in the full shutdown, and that may be an option although I don't care for the amount of time it takes to power down/up the unit.
For instants I charged the reader on Wednesday and so far have read about 75 pages and am down 1 bar already. Other users have reported going 3 or more weeks between charges and a decent amount of page turns.
For thoses user who have not upgraded there firmware I for one would be interested in what 1.X version of firmware they are using, and the equated battery life.
I will be upgrading to v2 sometime in the future, but not in a hurry to do it anytime soon as I am still reading the forums on the upgrade results. The only thing that I was looking forward to in v2 is the PDF support and it sounds like that is hit or miss.
If there is a improvement in battery life with the new firmware then I will upgrade the unit sooner.
