horseflesh · 11-26-2008, 11:25 PM

I've had a 500 for almost 2 years now, and it's always gotten about 1000 page turns before the battery dies. The battery will also self-discharge if I let the unit sit for a week or so. From what I have read, this is a lot worse than I should be seeing. (If I only knew that when I got it, I would have gone for a warranty fix...)

I am not using any MP3s, but there is a Memory Stick in it for book storage.

Any ideas on how to improve things? Thanks in advance...
