Hi, got Inkpad since 2 weeks ago, bought it for reading mainly pdfs for which it is great but I noticed some issues and dont know if it is normal so please tell me your experience and opinions. It is also my first e-reader so I don't really have anything to compare it with properly, also I have not seen the issue adressed once in this thread. So here it goes (btw got fw 5.4 preinstalled on it):
When reading doc file the battery runs out at least 5 (or more like 10) times faster than when reading pdf, when reading epub the battery runs out just as fast as .doc maybe a bit faster. Now I left e-reader in sleep mode (in the middle of epub book) with 40% battery left and in 3 hours it indicates it needs to recharge, 0% battery. Now when reading pdf I could let it in sleep mode or even on all night and it would take just 1% at most.
Now the battery could drain faster because of more page turns in doc and epub than in pdf (is this assumption legitimate? i mean on the other hand in pdf it has to picture much more text on 1 page, pdfs are larger etc.) but that fast? Also the 40% drain in sleep mode on epub...whats up with that? Could it be that the displayed amount of remaining battery was false also with false display of speed of draining battery while reading pdf so that it actually drained faster than shown?
Anyway if the battery drains as fast as shown when reading pdf then I think it is close to the manufacturer-stated battery life. The doc and epub drain is laughable and I refuse to believe it is meant to drain that fast.
Bad FW? Bad unit? Used unit by seller (it came already on 99% battery, though in the manual it states before first use to fully charge it)? "Normal" thing?
And one last question - how long does it take you to fully charge it via usb on PC?
