Well, certainly the Gen 3 is not the best on power management, but running out of power twice in a week seems to me a little bit extreme. Ok, the thing does not run the promised 7500 pages, not event close, but it still is ok. There was a thread in this forum where, if I remember well, somebody measured the power consumption with this firmware and I believe the result was 4-5 days on continuosly. Doing nothing, but still good.
I usually charge it every two weeks and the power gauge goes down at most at 70%. And I read a lot. I think your machine might have some problems. Or you read really a lot.
That the power management could be better (such as saving the state and turning on at the same point) is another issue. It would be nice, but I do not know if we'll ever have it.
With respect to the comparison with Bebook, I would really like to have more formats. Let's hope.
