Usually I hook up my reader once a week to upload new books, so battery charge has never been an issue. Today I just finished reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson and have not charged since uploading that book three weeks ago. Stats: reading for 21 days (dense material, but a good read), ~ 2200 page changes, a BBE file from the Sony Store, but I also have 800 RTF/PDF files on an SD card which apparently uses more battery, and I still have one bar showing on the battery display.

That's good enough battery performance for me. It means I can probably get through a two-week trip without recharging.
