4 to 6 hours usage time is a bummer. Sounds like no powermanagement at all atm. I bet you cant do 10000 pageflips in 6 hours

Your thumb would probably go up in flames.

Hope they fix that soon. could live with 6 hours if you use the pen all the time, but not otherwise. That problem might be a reason for them to delay the release. Customers wouldnt be happy to be promised 10000 pageflips and then only get a couple hundred.

@Henrycat: From which medium are you reading? Do you know if and how big the differences in power consumption are, if reading from CF, SD, USB or internal flash ?
And how many pages do you read per hour?
