Hi All, Just saw Latest news on Irextech website Support page in a box on the right side of page - software version 1.01 with some improvements, no mention of battery life, but it shows they are working on things to improve their DR. Mine arrives tomorrow but the download may be useful to members who already have the device. Best wishes. (Extract below) :

iRex DR1000 Release Notes
Software Version 1.01
20 October 2008

What’s new in software release 1.01
This software release 1.01 is part of an ongoing process to improve the performance of the iRex Digital Reader 1000 series.
This release will solve a number of issues that were discovered in the v1.0 software.

• Mobipocket Dictionary Lookup now working as intended.
Dictionaries will be detected in the ‘System/Dictionaries’ folder and for compatibility with Mobipocket Desktop Reader, in the ‘eBooks’ folder if it exists.
• Last read page and zoom factor now saved correctly.
• Improved boot time by storing font-cache on internal Flash memory.
• Issue solved that a crash during boot may cause the reader not to complete booting
