I was so hopeful about the promise of this open ereader. I eagerly bought my Boyue T61 since on paper the specs seemed to be better than the Kobo or Kindle. Sadly, my Boyue T61 ended up only lasting for a day before running out of battery even though I wasn't even using the device or reading a book. After requesting to return it, banggood.com had the audacity to suggest that this is "normal for android" and denied my return. Luckily, I had used paypal to pay for the item and Paypal authorized a return under their buyer protection guarantee. For those who are considering purchasing this device, I'd strongly recommend not to buy based on my experience. For those who are in a similar situation to me, I'd recommend you just call your credit card company or Paypal to facilitate the return.

I just ordered the T62 from them and I hope the larger battery helps. Did you look at battery stats to see what was causing the battery to run down so quickly? How long did you have it before returning? Did they make you pay return shipping?
