I have found in general though that most battery charge indications, are a guide at best and can be somewhat misleading, like some fuel gauges in cars. They move quickly off full & then take a while to go from half to empty.
I've submitted a ticket to iRex to ask if indeed 3 to 5 hours is "normal" to simply read PDFs. Hopefully, I will hear from them soon.

As a note, I recharged it again over night, then this morning before I left home, I unplugged it at 6:15 am. I called my husband, he reports it has one bar. He'll try to see when it shuts down, but it seems that my short battery life remains at ~ 5+ hours justing sitting there.
