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.
I did these measurement for the older firmware (wasn't it less than 4-5 days?) and have not repeated them for the latest firmware (the one you get in a replaced unit). It seems to be only 3-4 days when the unit is on the whole time so no problem to run out of battery twice in a week. I have read some paper books so I did not check the Cybook every day. But I read books in parallell so I cannot turn it off.
