Other than that it works ok, although the battery does drain by about 30% a day when I use it. I have jailbreak, launchpad and librerator installed, and I adjust zoom and jump between pages a lot. I also have Nook Classic, and the battery was at the same level as when I left.


I did the same thing you did with my DX-G, but had it turned off for two weeks (15 days). When I came back, the charge was completely full.

I suspect you have a bad battery.
