So that's not exactly 7500 page turns... (Unless it was *very* excessive use ;-)) I assume the power drain is due to things like the wireless and other background processes running. Is there any way to turn that stuff off, so that the only power drain is page changing? One of the big draws of eink for me is the idea that it's only using power under active use.

Or is that something that's coming with the eventual power management update?

Thanks for all the info you early adopters have been providing... Consider it karma to make up for getting nifty devices before the rest of us ;-)
