[Canterbury Tail]

Okay. I've had my 505 since about August I believe, and I've always thought the battery was going down fast. Now the battery was dieing after 3 weeks, and 800 page turns. I just flipped the power switch after reading (never the full shutdown from the menu), and sometimes it would be sitting a few days between usage.

My wife also has one, she uses it the same way, but manages to get about 3,000 page turns out of hers and it lasts much longer.

Thinking mine really wasn't operating to spec I took it back to Sony Style in Toronto and they sent it off to be looked at. What came back was "battery up to spec, suggest customer checks USB port or buys AC adapter." Needless to say I wasn't happy about this as my wifes is charged the same way and it seems to be operating fine.

So I've brought it back, it's been plugged into my machine constant for 28 hours now (though the light has been off since I checked it this morning.) So lets see shall we.

Has anyone else been having similar really low battery lifes? I'm not a fast reader, so I'm reading usually only one book on a charge. I'm not changing font sizes, and not reformatting the book constantly. I've never used the audio features.
