Do you have an estimate of how long your battery lasts? And/but, weren't you one of the people that switches their device off between reading?

I normally powered my Touch off as it was set to auto power off after 60 mins and didn't have an option to stop that anyhow until someone posted how to tweak a config file.
Since I bought the new Glo I've been leaving it in sleep mode unless I knew it was going to be a few days. Lately, I've left it in sleep mode just to see how the battery holds up. It's been at least 24 hours since I pulled it off the charging cable and it's still at 100%, but frankly considering the apparent non linearity of the battery charge displayed I'm not sure anything anyone reports matters other than full uptime from 100% until they get to the point where it automatically shuts down...
Mine always seems to stay near 100% for quite a while. Others seem to report a drop off and stabilization at lower plateaus. I think there may be two problems involved. Hinky battery curves and/or percentage reporting, and either a bug that causes some units to burn a lot of power while supposedly in sleep mode -possibly side loaded epubs related, or they may have gotten a shipment of questionable or flawed batteries.
I have no proof, this is pure conjecture and supposition... so far I'm just happy that mine seems to go a lot longer than 72 hours just left in sleep mode. I tend to charge before the meter bottoms out, but I think I've seen two weeks with a LOT of reading and the battery only showing around 50-60% discharge, which seems about as it should be.
