Long story short, I got a new Gen3 with FW708. And I can assure you battery life is nowhere near what it was before.

After just one afternoon reading, it's down to 90%.

Since I can't go back to 538 I just hope Bookeen will solve this ASAP once and for all.

@Tom: any news from bookeen since your last mail?
Hmm, the percent meter is not accurate. It is adjusting after few cycles of charging and discharging of battery.
